Posted by a parent on 5/27/2025There are no words to describe how grateful I am to everyone at Bret Harte. After very painful experiences in elementary school, I thought MS was going to be more of the same (or worse) for my child who has multiple disabilities and an IEP. I could not have be more wrong! The level of care, support,

Posted by a parent on 9/14/2024That is a good school, and teachers teach hard.
Posted by a parent on 2/3/2023The admin staff thrives on an adversarial relationship with students and parents. They are rigid, unyielding, and dismissive to both students and parents. Staff varies wildly from truly caring, constructive, and supportive to rude, egotistical, and cruel. Testing is paramount at this school as most

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child was traumatized while attending this school. At four years old, his teacher used to bang on his desk to “correct” him and, on one occasion, while attending the pre school program a teacher grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him against a wall because he did not want to go to sleep.After we removed him from that school, he would cry and beg us not to take him there whenever we drove past the school. It took years for him to overcome the fear this experience caused.The teachers do not have ANY credentials, leaving little accountability. Despite the high cost, the school misrepresented my child’s abilities, presenting memorization as reading to impress parents. I am deeply upset that this school continues to operate and hope it is properly investigated and supervised. As parent you think you are giving your kid the best so you pay for a good, safe environment and this is what you get!Parent Review3mo ago
