Read what parents are saying about Brier Creek Elementary

As a former employee, I can proudly say I had a great relationship with most of the students and staff at BCES. However, some of my colleagues of color and I agreed we experienced discrimination from Principal Eric Taylor to some extent. Many of us removed ourselves before the start of this school y

A new principal is bringing in the energy and activities the children need, including those outside the school day. We enjoyed the outside movie, where there was a raffle to sticky string the principal, Mr. Taylor. We attended the book fair, which included fun stations for the children, education fo

This school has been a terrible experience for my son. I'm aware of all of the issues due to staffing as it relates to the pandemic; however, the communication with staff and parents has been horrible. It feels as if the teachers and administration don't care about my son's success. I read reviews p

Most of the teachers that I loved left due to Administration. The school is unable to keep an Asst. Principal. So many teachers complained about the current principal that there was a "survey" about her management style. Nothing has changed. Poorly behaving and performing teachers and the principal

We are new to the area, and our daughter is going to PGES from another zone (the other school is capped). We had no idea what to expect given the not-great ratings, but we have overall been very happy with the school (and the ratings make absolutely no sense to us whatsoever!). Our daughter seeks challenge in school, and her teachers have been great about doing the best they can to help get her there, answer our questions, etc. (Having any support for GT/AIG is new to us, as the district we were in before in another state had zero support for teachers or parents/students in that situation.) The principal is very nice and supportive. Our daughter's teacher has been very kind and helpful in working both with our daughter and with us. My only substantial concern is that there seems to be far too much food-oriented rewarding at the school, which is not universal in the district, but too common from what I have gathered (it's the same for our son's middle school). This is complicated and concerning if there are health or behavioral concerns around food for some children, as we deal with, particularly with no school nurse on the grounds the vast majority of the time (that is a state/district issue). That said, the school is good about working with us when food presents a challenge in school. Overall, we have been as happy in most ways, and in some ways happier, with PGES as we were with our kids' former school (rated an 8). It's been a very good experience overall.
