Bess Brannen Elementary School

My children have attended Brannen for years. The parent involvement in the school is fantastic. Out of all of our years at Brannen, fourth grade is the worst. It seems in the last years the teachers teach to the state test, not student foundational skills and learning. My child and friends of my child are increasingly frustrated and their confidence is suffering. We as many parents are working hard at home to make it out of Brannen with our childrens self confidence and love for learning in tact. Up until now I have been a huge supporter of Brannen, But that has changed. I question the quality of education for my child and the ongoing training of the teachers.
