Brownstone Intermediate School

We moved to the town for the school system. It was one of the biggest mistakes we've made. If you're planning on sending your child here, get the number for a child advocate. You're going to need them.

extremely unhealthy and dangerous.Lack of appropriate action has almost cost my granddaughter her life

An amazing school with stellar leadership and phenomenal teachers! Wish my kids could be at BIS for 12 years!!

Welcome to the Brownstone Intermediate School, where it is all about the Connecticut mastery test and not about educating children to succeed in the future or over come learning difficulties. I have now had two children go through Brownstone and things have gone from bad to worse. The principle at Brownstone is only interested in touting her blue ribbon school status and not the kids learning what they need to know in higher grades levels. Blue Ribbons are given to school that do well on mastery tests in CT. while students are forced into timed testing in class real work is sent home for the parents to teach their children sometimes upwards of three hours of homework a night. Teachers seem unwilling to stay after to help a student struggling in a subject even when their own teacher comments point out they need help in that class. Instead insisting the child stay in from recess or you the parent spends more time on that subject at home. Books are not available to all students in all classes and the teachers act like once they have put in their six hours they rest is up to you. I have found many of the teachers at Brownstone passive aggressive and one or two down right bullying.
