Brownell is probably similar to the other 2 middle schools. I am involved in the parent club and find very few parents come to meetings or volunteer for fundraisers or events. Lack of a second language elective is a very big topic as solarsano has one and the students will need a foundation for high school. The principal shows up but I'm not really sure how involved she really is. Coming from a private school, the academic programs are average, and electives are very restricted. I must be right on top of things to know how my son is doing in classes. E-mail works well with the teachers so I know I can get in touch if I need to.

2 weeks of low test scores in 7th grade science and no note from teacher for a conference. I found the problem to be student not aware of daily reading assignment.

Inexperienced teachers. Lack of accountability and feedback from teachers. Lack of discipline on the campus made this a scary environment that did not foster academic progress. We were forced to remove our daugter from the district.

This school is fun, but the teachers are horrible. I know because I am a A&B student. The teachers are really hard on you and it feels like the class never ends. I dont recomend this school.

The science program is not efficient to give students the information they need to be successful in college or competitive in the work place.
