My child loves BRE, the teachers I have had the pleasure of meeting are passionate about teaching their kids. The staff is very friendly and professional, and always go above and beyond to help the parents is what ever situation (lost backpack, getting a hold of a teacher, etc). My child receives IEP, so when ever it is time for a board review they are always on top of things, they brief me of what is going on, changes, updates, advice everything! I trust and feel safe that my child is under their care, and I really wish my child would of had the same attention in his previous schools.

It was a great school until Ms Myers is now in charge. If you do not have full custody of your child, even if you have a court order, DO NOT send your child to this school. They do not go by the court orders whatsoever! You can send you child to school one day and when they don't return off the bus it is because they did what they pleased and let your child go with someone else. Do not take the risk people. They break the law!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE BRE...we have been here for over 3 years. Had all 4 of our children experience BRE...our youngest is in BRE right now and Ms. Kline the principle is AMAZING!!! The teachers are absolutely wonderful also. My son has special needs and to be honest they have been nothing but accommodating to him and our family and his educational needs. This school will be the only thing we miss when we PCS from the area.
