Corbell Elementary School

Teachers Students Like Brent Elementary So They can Enjoying Learning And Teaching New Things

Let me start out by saying that I have no problem with the level of teaching at the school. The teachers have been very nice to my daughter and my complaint is not with them. My complaint is with the administration and the school policies. About two week ago my daughter who is in 4th grade was pushed by a boy at recess. They were playing dodgeball, when the boy was put out off the game, he took out his frustration by pushing my daughter off a piece of the equipment and she landed on her back, and slightly hit her head on the concrete. Had she just been pushed a little harder, she could have landed on her head and faced serious injuries. Now originally we had been told she fell by the school, but after speaking to my daughter, I found out that she had been pushed. The next day I went in to see the vice principal who’s name is Amy Gray, she proceeded to tell me that she couldn’t discuss even the penalty the child faced for putting hands on my daughter. No information at all other than to tell me that the child had been punished in accordance with their policies. Here’s the thing though, the kid was in school the very next day! So no meaningful punishment was given at all!I’m outraged as a parent and the fact that this school and district for that matter place the needs of the aggressor above the rights of the victim!

Purefoy is fantastic. The teachers are chosen for being loving first and academics second. My kids have thrived here. This school was ranked 10/10 when we bought our house in 2020. I believe the high number of students with disabilities has brought the scores down. The number of low income students has gone up some too. The leadership here is excellent, and we feel very blessed to have this as our neighborhood school.
