My daughter has been at Bradley Hills and it is excellent. The teachers are consistently good and the administration is warm and supportive. There is a great school community and a culture of inclusivity.

We just moved to the neighborhood, and this is my sons 4th school in three years. The teachers, students, parents, and entire school community have been warm and welcoming. When my son struggled a bit with the adjustment the school brought together his teacher, counselors, education specialists, and the school administration to collaborate and coordinate so that he would receive the necessary supports. My son is now thriving, making friends, and hitting his learning milestones. We couldnt be more thrilled out impressed with this school and its caring community. Go Whales!

We love Bradley Hills. Coming from a private school I was worried that my children would not get as much attention and wouldnt feel part of the community. It is the opposite. Within 1 month the entire administration knew my childrens names, there is an abundance of PTA programming, and the teachers we have had experiences with are motivated and engaging. Im blown away by the school and the community and so thankful that this is our school.

I have had no issues at Bradley Hills. My son started school during COVID and was supported through it. Now that he is going to school he is happy and progressing well. Bradley is supportive of SEL and educates kids on bullying. My son's teachers are effective and homework is focused on reading, not at all overwhelming. Kids have a chance to develop leadership skills if they want to.

Our daughter moved to Bradley Hills from a small private school that had 75% fewer students per grade. My daughter deserves a lot of credit for her courage and resilience, but there is no doubt she was helped immeasurably by the committed, caring and talented teachers and administrators at Bradley Hills. The transition was a tremendous success and exceeded all of our expectations. Our daughter has many wonderful new friends and is treated like she been part of her class since kindergarten. And my daughter feels that way too. We could not be more thrilled!

Hard to fiindicate any fault with Bradlet Hills. The results / high achievement speak for themselves. I can only hope that Pyle and Whitman are equally outstanding.

The school needs a better principal and better leadership. Bradley Hills has a very high teacher turnover with the teachers leaving to join other local schools. The teachers are just mediocre with the exception of a couple of teachers. At the end of the school year I feel like my child has learned nothing.

My original review seems to have been deleted, further proves this school covers up the bad happenings and hides the truth. Look at the numbers compared to other schools, it's not the BHES is better, they just don't report the truth. Avoid this school and neighborhood.

This is an excellent school led by an outstanding principal and her team (both staff and teachers). Parent involvement is strong and it truly feels like a big family. Academic are excellent and the new facility should be great.

Bradley Hills Elementary - the parents are incredibly involved and ensure that kids have every activity to thrive and opportunity to learn. The principal is devoted to the school and always open to listening to parents. Its a very welcoming community for students and families.

Bradley Hills is a vibrant, diverse, creative, place where some very high-level learning occurs every day. We could not be more pleased with the quality of the teaching and the principal's leadership and demeanor. Our kids are happy and well-adjusted largely because of the supportive climate at Bradley Hills.
