Former North Kansas employee Dennis Hernadez was indicted for filming child **** at North KC elementary schools. Briarcliff was listed as one of the schools he subbed at for 4 years. He was also a staff member at Adventure Club, a before and after school program.

This school lacks communication, and if you happen to have a special needs child they unfortunately won't be receiving all of the help that they need as the teacher in that specific room is overwhelmed and needs assistance. Also, I've noticed there's tons of issues with bullying and harassment that the school never takes the right appearance on by going through the chain of command. Overall I would not recommend sending your children here if it can be avoided as safety is an ongoing issue.

Teachers are not nice I don’t know what’s going on internally but somebody needs to step in quick this school is in trouble

Awful. It was a great school when Dr. Casey was there. Teachers seem miserable. Says a lot about the leadership of the school.

My child has been there for 4 years. Non stop bullying and racism. This is not a diverse school at all. Addressed it with Dr. Donnley and she never took it serious. Compared racism to bathroom talk. Don’t feel communication with parents is what it should be.

My son wasn't able to participate in field day because of a library book that was overdue that we hadn't even heard about until 2 days before! This is also the only school that doesn't provide transportation for the preschool program so my youngest isn't able to attend and could actually really use the help.

Great elementary! You can tell the principal Dr. Casey loves her school and takes pride in her staff and students. We really love this school and have not had any complaints thus far.

My son has been here for two years now, and we all love it! The principal is fantastic! She's very involved in the daily routines throughout the school, and always has a big smile on her face. Both of my sons teachers have been amazing with keeping us involved with their school activities and keeping the individual kids challenged for their own personal level. We love Oakwood Manor! I think a lot of parents forget that parental involvement is a HUGE factor in your childs success in school. It is not only up to the school to make your child successful.

I am new to the district, so not sure how to answer. So far, so good, though. Everyone has been super nice and helpful during our registration process! Thank you!

We're new at this school this year and couldn't be happier with the staff- A++. The principal, Mrs. Casey, is amazing. My childrens' teachers are great and the music and art programs are fantastic. They have a community garden that the children tend to and actually serve the fresh fruit and veggies from it for lunch! I feel that parent involvement is somewhat lacking, but I'm just comparing to our former school. Other than that, it's a great little school.
