I do not understand this school, but I certainly now understand why the reading and math proficiency is less than 50% in Maryland. Here are the lowlights:
* The classes are overcrowded (25+ per class)
* They teach to the lowest common denominator. Meaning, if your kid gets a concept then they have to wait while the others catch up. During the waiting no real learning is going on. They do not divide up classes based on ability.
* Discipline is baffling...but not surprising. If any kid has to get disciplines nothing is really done to eliminate the problem and the bad kid just gets either moved to a new class to continue to be disruptive or is given "restorative" discipline. Restorative means that they explain to the kid why you shouldn't hit someone and call them the N word...and then send them back to class. And give them chance after chance...meanwhile the well behaved kids end up suffering and the behavior continues.
* Supervision during recess is almost non-existent and where the majority of the problems happen.

BES is a fantastic school. Classes are growing, but thatÂ’s largely due to a quickly growing community. BES is doing a great job accommodating new kids and the community is getting brand new schools built over the next 1-3 years. Thanks BES for all you do!!!

We just finished kindergarten and loved the experience. Reading, math, etc. took off this year with the help of Brunswick Elementary School teachers. Appreciate all your hard work!

Wonderful small school in a small town environment. Moving from other larger towns and schools, its wonderful to see the engagement of parents and teachers in a smaller academic environment. Kids are doing great here and we love the teachers.

Autistic children do not get bus services when they need it. The school is overcrowded with over 22 kids per teacher. The kids are coming home not knowing math, writing, etc. What ever they are doing is not effective.

At first I enjoyed this school when my son started, then things started happening. I am disappointed at the neglect of some teachers and the administration has had on students. It needs work, they need to listen and follow through on what they say. When it comes to the safety and well being of my child I am not going to gamble with it. Without getting too far into it , We have moved our child to a new school. I can only hope they get things situated and handled in a better way.

We moved our whole family from Montgomery County to Brunswick earlier this year, and we are so happy we did. Brunswick is a great little town, and this school is a reflection of that. There is a new young principal and vice principal this year and they are very hands-on every time I see them. My children's teachers are wonderful, and specials like PE, Art and Music are offered every day. My kids are very happy when they get off the bus each day.
