Frank E. Brigham Academy

The worst experience I’ve had with a school. I understand they had to change facilities and everyone was acclimating to the change, but that does not excuse the lack of communication. My daughter’s teacher was fantastic and excellent at communicating (she of course went to another school). My son’s teacher changed and I never heard anything from his new teacher. He was harmed regularly at school by other kids because the teacher had zero control. He was stabbed in the face by another child with a pencil and the office called me to tell me. They told me the teacher would be calling to explain and she never did. I hope in the future they’re able to better staff the school so teachers aren’t so overwhelmed, but I wouldn’t recommend this school.

School barely has a theatre. but I guess most of the staff are nice.

ReviewI hope this review finds some a bit of deferment and I hope it shakes others up. Grace has always had a “high” standard in our community. So many people praise it yet when I sent my child it was nothing but devastation. The days became long and impossible to get through. The teachers had little to no empathy or care for their students. I made my child’s teacher aware of an illness and if it was to occur to call me immediately, my request was ignored and my child suffered. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the only time my child suffered at the exspense of Grace. Not only did they ignore my requests when it came to their health but they also refused to listen when my child cried for help. The bullying became so severe and after speaking with not only the teacher but the principle as well nothing was done. I was told my child was the problem. It becomes a problem when a child looses their voice and can no longer speak up for themselves because they know that they will have no support and no one who will stand up for them. If your child is bullied at Grace it will not stop and they will victim blame.They have a lack of discipline and understanding of discipline, they show favoritism and make it very clear when a child is not liked to not only the child themself but also to the parents.Grace lacks accommodations and compassion. Each child has specific needs but they do not care. They will not accommodate your child whether they have a diagnosis or just need a little extra help. Grace will ignore your request as a parent and they will make your child suffer. Emotionally, academically, anyway imaginable. If your child does not fit their mold then your child will be belittled and ridiculed. I have nothing good to say about this school!!!! If you have an exceptional child, one who you want to be molded into their own person, one you want to be kind and that you want to be treated with the respect that they deserve….DO NOT I repeat DO NOT go to Grace!

This school and its teachers are the best; they strive to be the place God would want them to be, praying for the students and looking for fun activities for the kids to do. The graduates get into great universities, and they have many sports and great elective classes.

Pro-So far St. Joe's is great! Our daughter just finished PreK 3 and she has learned so much! We can't wait for next year and the years to come. It is such a blessing that our daughter gets to go to a school where she can get a higher education and learn about God at the same time. All the staff and teachers treat you and your child(ren) like family and the school is well secured to keep all children and staff safe. Con-Wish the school had more parking open during school hours. The car line pick up process is inefficient and frustrating.

The school does not communicate properly with parents. There have been numerous problems with teachers and administration that go unaddressed. Transportation issues are not communicated. This school has caused my family nothing but hardships. I would not recommend this school to anyone.
