Community Reviews
We love Brentano. The community is great. The kids have great field trips and lots of activities.
Posted by a parent on 3/20/2026Brentano is a neighborhood school (non-selective) with a diverse student population. Most all of the teachers at Brentano are excellent, and truly care about the students. They go out of their way to support the kids both academically and emotionally. They offer optional before-school advanced math
Posted by a parent on 5/24/2025I graduated from Brentano many moons ago and now, my children attend the school. I absolutely love the school and staff at Brentano but most importantly, my babies love it. They wake up excited to go to school everyday. My 5 year old does yoga and was taught to recycle. The school also offers before
Posted by a parent on 5/25/2023I just graduated and I had the best ten years of my life in that school
Posted by a parent on 8/25/2022These school ranking websites are mystifying to me and I suspect do more harm the school selection process than help. I'm boggled by these scores. This is a fantastic school with remarkable leadership and dedicated faculty and staff. Every grade is structured around "learning by inquiry" which teach

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve been so happy with our son’s experience at Chase. Amazing teachers, amazing dual language Spanish program and perhaps one of the most impressive principles I’ve ever met. Families are super involved and we’ve been very lucky to have such a close community to build our life around. It’s slightly smaller than some of the other schools around like Goethe or Pulaski but we find that it makes the community much more tighten it, and there are more resources per student.Parent Review1mo ago - Darwin Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo not send your children here, everything is “GREAT” until your child has an issue or you want to address something. Principal and Assistant Principal will refuse to address the problem and turn you away. We have transferred our daughters out of here immediately.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school fails to meet basic expectations. The principal is unresponsive and lacks accountability, and several teachers show little engagement or follow-through. Concerns are routinely delayed or ignored, and students do not receive the support they need. It’s concerning that even the principal’s own children attend other schools, which raises questions about confidence in the environment he leads. Leadership sets the tone, and here it is failing families and children. Significant changes are needed before I could recommend this school.Parent Review3mo ago - Linne Elementary School
