I have 2 children in Brennen and have been there through 2 different principals. The teachers, staff, administration, etc are all exceptional. One of my children has had 2 brain surgeries while attending and learning and support has been fantastic. From getting IEP’s and learning disabilities to the Advanced Academic placement classes, both of my children are thriving. My brother (their uncle) passed way and the counselors and teachers added another layer of support emotionally for their and my loss. I can’t recommend this school more…it is the best Elementary School in the district, state, country and I love and thank them all!!!This is the greatest school ever, send your children here!

We have several children in our family and close friendship groups who have graduated from Dreher or are currently attending. They have all been served well by the outstanding and caring faculty. They received an excellent eduation and were deeply involved in the arts and athletics. In addtition , they had fun and made lasting friendships with students with widely diverse backgrounds. I attribute the fact that they are comfortable with themselves and form successful business and social relationships easily to the expectations and apreciation for others learned at Dreher. One of my children attributes the fact that he sailed through undergrad and grad programs in programs with intense math concentrations to the outstanding math department where Ms. Murphy and colleagues make even calculus comfortable. The arts program is phenomenal. Some of the children of family and close friends have had difficulties socially and academically but were aslo embraced and encouraged at Dreher. We are all deeply grateful to the Dreher teachers and other staff.

My kid went to hand during her 6th grade year (2020-21) she had an amazing experience and she got along with everyone. She always came home with good grades. The school provides good academic skills that truly work. After we moved I realized there not many schools that have the same standards as hand middle. I would definitely recommend this school.
