Brandenburg Elementary School

Posted: June 3, 2026

School is very engaging this past year 25-26. Teachers and staff engaged frequently on DOJO, email and text about upcoming events, trips, teacher/student class engagement and more. They will send me pictures as well with permission obviously what they do, accomplish and celebrate.
They celebrate success which is awesome. Son was student of the month, TAG and recognitions for behavior. It was a pretty awesome experience.
Since it was my first time attending the school I didn’t knew the ins & outs so their are some rules to follow i.e. no getting out of the vehicle while in the line to pick up and drop off.
School is clean in and out. Very organized with events and other things that go on with kids. Halls are decorated with students art, pictures and recognitions. Thank you Mr.Villatoro, Mrs, Cortez, Mrs. Choudhury and Ms.Olmos. Mr. Stark and staff.

Al principio cuando me mude a Irving esta era una de las escuelas con un alto puntaje 8/10, pero debo decir que bajo significativamente y eso por lo que veo se refleja tanto en el puntaje como en la educacion de mi hijo, le fue pesimo en el examen STAAR de matematicas y regular en el de lenguaje, ni una sola vez me contacto la maestra para decir si mi hijo le estaba yendo mal o ella no veia los resultados esperados, tienen todo un año escolar para notar si los niños les va bien o no en clases, no les envian algun tipo de actividad a casa para que practiquen ni nada, estoy sumamente decepcionada y me parece que todo esto tambien se debe con el cambio de directora. Tambien se noto un cambio en la participacion tanto del staff como de los padres, no se nos incorporo como el año pasado a actividades y me parece sumamente triste. Espero de verdad que este año todo mejore, sino sera el ultimo año de mi hijo en esa escuela.

I had my kid last year on this school and decided to switch to different school after an incident with her took a place, She had her Birthday and she was so exited as a kid about it when she was on the class she told the substitute teacher today is my birthday the substitute teacher responding in a shocking way she ( are you F*** stupide go set on your chair) that how she respond to 9 year old they said investigation took a place but the result of that investigation is a personal matter and they can't share it. There is no homework and they keep going for days without learning anything.

While the campus seems nice and they appear to have adequate resources but not state of the art by any means. The real issue with this school is consistency. They will tell you at the beginning of the year that additional instruction will be needed but then don't start tutoring or additional instruction for "average" kids until close to STAAR testing. I have never spoken with the principal and I was informed once that she didn't wish to be disturbed. The dual language program does not seem to be beneficial to english language speakers; if they stuggle the teacher response is "we can't help". Parent involvement seems limited to school district employees who have kids in the school. There is a communication issue with parents and getting volunteers. Overall, I am disappointed that I wasted several yrs of my child's education in this school. We are moving to charter school that will not be overcrowded and learning can be personalized. Perhaps the new principal coming in next year will improve the school. Just to note, great teachers Mr. Singh, Mrs. Cruz, Ms. Seminario.

Well I just graduated from this school like 2 weeks ago & I really loved it there! I haven't been in Brandenburg since kindergarten, I started going to Brandenurg at the age of 7 I was about to go to 2nd grade but my parents decided to move from the house we where before. So then my dad found the perfect house, and my mom was looking for a school & she found Brandenburg. My teachers of 2nd grade were amazing well all of the teachers are! Even though I haven't been in that school since kinder, I am going to miss that school so much! Oh also Brandenburg has this thing called "Dual Language"! Dual language is something that helps you talk & right in English & in Spanish! I love this school so much!! :)
