Margaret Brent Elementary School

Margaret Brent is a lovely school and a great learning environment. My kids will be ready for middle school and will leave with lasting memories and wonderful friends. Thrilled!

My boys attended MBES for 5 years each and had a great experience. Their teachers have been very caring, involved, receptive and professional. No complaints. We are moving so I hope we can find the same.

I’ve fought and argued with the principal since we arrived. He has zero respect for me or my role as my children’s mother. He believes he knows best and my wishes are never taken seriously. He does not take any issues or complaints on his staff seriously either. He will not do anything about the complaints and will always back his staff 100%. The teachers need to keep their personal lives out of their classrooms! I do not appreciate my child seeing pool pictures of his teacher. Nor do I find it appropriate for his teacher to give them details of her personal life. It blurs so many necessary lines.

Not a fan. We have been given very inexperienced or first year teachers 3 years in a row. None of which seem to be able to handle anything other than the most docile of children. Principal Fitzgerald is more concerned with whether the kids are wearing Minecraft shirts than finding real solutions to any problems that arise. Front office staff is rude and ignorant. I am actively looking to move to get away from this school.
