Brentwood Elementary School

Best school ever. The teachers are excellent, well trained, cheerful, gentle.

My child was never taught here, she would end up in a 2nd grade class everyday and the only reason I discovered this was because my child came home with mutiple ant bites on her legs and when I asked her about them she told me she got them from a carpet she sits on in another class, the more questions I asked the more she told me, many teachers were aware of this, my child would be put on a carpet and left there all day. I brought it to the principals attention and she did nothing, I also found out that this kindergarten teacher had issues in the past; she slapped a 5th grader in her class and the principal “took action” by giving her a kindergarten class to teach and moved her out of teaching 5th grade. My child endured a lot and it was all negative. They are sneaky and smiled in my face plenty of times knowing how my daughter was being treated when I left. Do not trust any teacher at this school or the “concerned” principal, it’s all an act to keep quiet so it’s not taken to the superintendent.

Great teachers and administrators. I love the consistency of the culture across the campus.

This is my 4th kindergarten teacher I've dealt with as a parent and by far the worst. The kindergarten teacher continues to assign the students projects that are grossly above kinder level. It's really homework for the parents, my son cries because the homework is too demanding and I also feel a huge wave of anxiety over each project. The kinder students are expected to essentially write reports over various subjects throughout the year and it's just too much. Also, the reader books assigned are not kinder level. These poor kids are memorizing the books instead of learning phonics so I bought a set of "BOB books" (actual kinder level) and have been going over these with my child instead of the printout books. I have another child who is in a higher grade and he doesn't even have homework as demanding as my kinder child. This is ridiculous.
