Brentwood High School

Our first year at this school was alright, but now, with the expansion in 2017, things are awful. I hope it is just an adjustment period, but the administration has no idea how to handle all the kids. No one seems to know what they are doing and kids are getting lost in the shuffle and definitely not getting the attention they need. I'm sorry I ever voted for the extra money to fund the expansion - worst thing ever for that school district

Mark Twain is simply an amazing school. We moved here from Eastern Europe in June 2014 with our 5 year old daughter who barely spoke any English and started Kindergarten in August. Three month in she was speaking very good English, made plenty of friends and was perfectly integrated. Principal, Teachers and office personal are incredibly warm and dedicated. Art Class and PE are so good and kids are excited every step of the way. Lots of fun and creative activities. We could't be happier and more proud of our choice.

The 4 year old preschool program is ridiculously inappropriate for preschoolers. The children are forced to sit for several hours each day and learn how to color within the lines. The teachers will make them redo their work until it meets their unreasonable expectations. I do not know about the other grade levels in this school but I do know that your social standing and how much income you make is of great importance. I would not at all be surprised if the teachers play favorites based on who the student's parents are. The Catholic parishes and schools in the St. Louis area are not doing so well and my above review probably has a lot to do with their struggles. Many of the schools and parishes are expected to be closed by the Archdiocese sometime in the next year or so, probably for the best.
