Briarwood

PWS has been such a great fit for both of our children. The relationships they have developed with the adults in the building is special. The staff honor each student and hold them where they are while also challenging them to do their best and grow. My kids love handwork, language courses (Mandarin & Spanish), music and choir and are engaged and curious about the world around them through their daily homeroom lessons. I feel extremely grateful we have our kids in such a loving, enriching and kind community.

I would not recommend this school to anyone I cared about. There are so many better and amazing options nearby such as St. Agatha, Holy Family and St. John the Apostle. This school has weak leadership and very inexperienced teachers. It is not the same school it was 7 years ago- in fact, there has been a complete turn-over of all staff except one, during this time frame. The turn over of principals over the last 10+ years is probably record breaking (6). The academics do not prepare students for high school and the faculty do the bare minimum for their students with huge disparities and blatant favoritism. It’s very obvious with the many families moving on and enrollment drastically dropping nearly in half.
