We have had nothing but great experiences here. Principal Jeck is fantastic, Mr. C is the best Autism teacher you could ask for. The Preschool program is fantastic, Ms. Teri is a blessing. My son made so many great strides here. The communication among staff, administrators and teachers is A+Mrs. Cook is amazing, Mrs. Grezlak for second grade is one of the kindest, most caring people I have had the pleasure to meet. I could go on and on about this school, not a single bad experience. There is always an event at the school for families, we will truly miss BRES.

This school has serious safety issues. Students frequently bully one another, which creates an unsafe environment. During my time here, I have noticed that whenever a serious incident is reported, the staff does not seem to take the problem seriously. Many students also often use racial slurs against their peers. For example, in sixth grade, my friend mentioned her plan to wear a hijab, and the next day, when she did, she was called a “t3rr0r!st” by several people. While the education here is alright, the overall environment of the school leaves much to be desired.
