Graebner Elementary School

Teachers are nice principal is firm but not mean

This school is a joke. Some teachers are great, while others bully their students. Students with an IEP are not having their needs met. The lack of communication between staff and parents is something that could be worked on. They are always short staffed and always having busing issues (my child was late to school every single day last year as well as getting home). It was never communicated from transportation or the school that they were late, everyday! I just watched my students grades drop over the year and their self esteem because they'd get picked on for being tardy by 15 minutes *almost every morning! There are very few teachers at this school that are the exception. This school has had 3 principals in 4 years, if that says anything. It all went downhill after they made the decision to get rid of the principal Mrs Pritchard after a transportation issue that was more so the superintendents fault than anything. Staff will lie about your students IEP needs being met when they're not providing the services they're required to by law. We withdrew last year. So happy we made that decision and wished we would've sooner.

For the teaching is good not to bad but for the self emotion I don’t they care so much and they don’t punish the kids who bully my son at all and they don’t care about this thing beside that for the safety I would give them zero point because I dropped my son at the front office so he could go faster to the class he has only 2 minutes left but who ever was in the from told him you still can walk to your class and she let him go but as soon as he walked to there the class was close and she didn’t let him in and I wasn’t with him they left my son outside alone and my friend called to tell me my son is outside I had to come back for him and when I was telling the front office about what happened they didn’t gave me any attention and they were so rude they are not professional at all they have a bad behaviour and attitude and they are not responsible at all

I'm an old student of browning, that school is full of bullies, they are disrespectful in so many ways, and the current principal takes all the boys' sides. the teachers are amazing, and I have good memories of the school, but most of my memories there are horrible, if I had a choice to go back to that school id save myself the trauma and hate I received, I don't advice you go there, and when I grow up if I have kids, I don't plan to continue the tradition of them going to Browning. I'll send them to a better school, and over all I don't believe browning deserves to be one of the top three schools in Michigan. the education system is whack.
