Brentwood Elementary School

Gullett is such a sweet school. The family involvement is great and everybody tries to take care of each other. The teachers have been great so far. Every classroom has a garden which is so fun and educational. Academics seem high, and I really like the principal, you can tell she really cares about the school absolutely the kids.

In the past three years under the leadership of Principal Leyla Olano this school has flourished. It has been a gem of a school in north central Austin! Principal Olano recruiited some great teachers, including a number from Spain and Latin America for the Spanish language program and Chinese teachers from both Taiwan and mainland China for the Chinese language program. Discipline is firm but fair and always with a loving attitude, ensuring a safe learning environment. The facility is admittedly older (1953) but the small size of the student body ensures individual attention -- everyone knows everyone and helps out. Fantastic PTA support and lots of community activities! I don't know what the 2026-2027 school year might bring with all the changes in Austin ISD, but these past few years have seen incredible improvements and a stable staff.

What an amazing school! The friends I made at St. Louis are still some of my best friends years after we've graduated. The education that my peers and I received at St. Louis was the foundation that helped us thrive in high school at St. Michael's and later in college. Most importantly though, I'm grateful that St. Louis grew my faith through religious education and the sacraments. I'll forever be thankful for the blessing that St. Louis has been in my life.
