Moved into the Brandon school district when I was in 1st grade immediately realized how cliquey the students, teachers and staff were to outsiders. Teachers ignored my questions and directly placed me in special education. I quickly open enrolled to Evansville Elementary, where the students, teachers, principal and staff radiated positive energy and welcomed new students. Instead of being in special education in Brandon, I participated in Evansville's excellent gifted-and-talented program and developed very strong foundational math skills. I just completed my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of California. Please open enroll your students to Evansville for elementary if you unfortunately live in the Brandon school district. As the Great School ratings clearly show, you will get a much stronger education. If you care only about being good at athletics, go to Brandon. The one positive thing I can say about Brandon is that most of the best athletes were from there.

I attended Evansville elementary from 4th-6th grade. I lived in the Brandon district but after starting school in Brandon briefly quickly switched to Evansville, a superior school in terms of teachers, staff, students, and quality education as clearly shown by the much higher result on Great Schools. At Brandon Elementary the students, teachers and staff were very clique and not at all welcoming when I moved into their district. Evansville students, teachers, and principal radiated positive energy and friendliness to new students. Superb education, excellent gifted-and-talented program and strong foundational math skills were the building blocks for my future education and I recently received a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of California. Thanks for the great solid beginnings, Evansville. I attended before Evansville Elementary before Evansville merged with Brandon for middle and high school. It's unfortunate that their middle and high schools have lower educational ratings due to the merge.
