Bryant Elementary School

My child went to this school for years K-3. While Kindergarten was a great year, the subsequent three years were awful. My child had a new teacher for 1-3 (brand new to the school or fresh out of college). None of these teachers could maintain control of the classroom and was complete chaos from the very beginning (one teacher cried daily for the first month). Despite parent’s calls to leadership to support the teachers, it fell on deaf ears. From 2022-2025, they’ve had 3 principals and a handful of vice principals. They don’t have a PTA, they don’t sell yearbooks, there’s not much of an incentive to participate in the one crappy fundraiser they do once per year. The gifted and talented program is a joke and there were several times they didn’t even show up. I had to supplement A LOT at home. To the point that we didn’t have time for any extracurriculars.One time my child was placed between two children that were arguing with each other in STEM class to try and discourage them from fighting. One kid decided to punch the other little boy and my child (a girl) was caught in the crossfire and clocked in the jaw. The boy was never made to apologize, was not suspended, no discipline whatsoever. I won’t even get into the incident where my child’s arm was broken on the playground at recess. Parents need to stay on top of the teachers, leadership and school board if you want anything positive out of this school. In our experience, it was a nightmare.

There is no communication between the teachers and Parents, as a particular that doesn’t make me feel like my child is safe or cared for.

My boys have been going here to this school since 2022 /2023 year and school has been great for them both

I am a mom of three kids who go here since kindergarten, we have a great prinicipal and special education department and PTA together this year, WE LOVE ALL KELLEY STAFF. Front desk Traci and Kay are amazing women.

Never been to a school that releases car riders and bus riders before walkers. Also I have never been told I had to wait off campus to pick up my child. They expect the parents to do the teaching not the teachers.

My children have been attending Bodine since Pre-k and i would not switch schools for ANY reason. The principal Mrs. Coshow is so loving and cares for the children. She is so dedicated to their education and the well being of her students. I love this school. My kids love their teachers. My son and daughter have grown in their reading in math scored by 20 points from the beginning to the middle of the year. I cannot wait until the next test to see how much they have grown.
