My son learning experience has been wonderful. Incredible teachers. Beautiful campus. Playground needs updated.

Racism and rude behavior runs rampant from the teachers, to the parent and down to the students. Some as young as 1st grade.

Decent school; just very overcrowded. Parents are very involved. Wish they would remodel those mobile units though

We have been at Byrne for 6 years now and it's not perfect, so don't go there expecting miracles. You can expect a principal that will listen and who genuinely cares about the kids and goes out of his way to make it the best school he can with the resources he is allotted. You can expect mostly good teachers. It is a fact of life that you wont have the best teacher in the school every year. But even the teachers without the best methods to reach my child were still strong teaching the basic academics and would listen to my concerns and make an honest effort to try. You can expect an overcrowded building with some kids eating lunch in the hallways or their classroom. This problem might be alleviated with the longer school day, but it's not the end of the world. There are parents who are very involved and genuinely want to make the school better and parents that are only good at complaining. This is common at all schools and if you are considering sending your child here please try to be one who wants to help. Overall, I have been very happy to have my child here. She has learned and grown well.
