"As a former instructor at this school, I will say that it is the families that make the difference. I had parents that did nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about their child's poor decisions. I had students that would vandilize school property, destroy my personal property, and be outright disrespectful at all times. I'd speak with the parents, and their response was the same across the board, that their child didn't behave that way, and it was something I was doing. If you want your child to get a good education, don't send them to a school where the parents don't take responsibility for their children. Instead, send your child to a private school, that's what all the teachers I know are doing, and what I intend to do."

"What a great difference the new administrators have made. We are in a day and age where funding is lost and they have found a way to keep options open for students...kudos!"

"Brownell has changed alot since its former leaddership ('06-'07)left. They are on the correct course and I feel confident that the teachers and administration will continue to foster positive relationships with students. There improvements can be seen in the data and are showing growth as compared to their counter parts in the district."

It is a amazing school for anyone!"

"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."
