Donald F. Bradach Elementary School

Whos got knowledge? Bradach Bears! Please don't take the scores to the left of your page to heart, take the reviews from parents. Those scores are inaccurate! This school is wonderful! Even better this year, then the last. Mrs. Pearson has made a huge difference in the schools over all academic achievements as well as the social aspects.

I have 2 boys at Bradach. One is in the 8th grade and the other is in the 2nd grade. The teachers at Bradach are wonderful. The are involved and care about the children they teach. I would not change schools and could not recommend a better school to anyone.

I have 3 children attending Bradach. We have been at the school since the doors opened in 1998. I believe the school went through a rough period when the city began to grow too fast for the schools. The overcrowdedness problem has been rectified this year with the limiting of students, however, with the new program comes much disorganization. My children are all different learners, and seem to all do well at Bradach. I think the most complaints come from those who get involved the least! I would encourage parent participation.

I have two children enrolled in Bradach: one is in fifth grade and the other is in first grade. The fifth grader has virtually no homework, while my first grader has at least 4-5 pages of math and English homework per night. While I know homework is essential for learning, this seems extremely excessive, especially in comparison to my fifth grader. The kids at that school also tend to be on the unruly side. Needless to say, it didn't surprise me that the school ranked as a 3.

I have a child who attends braddach, and it seems to me that he's not learning anything.Their are no communication between the teachers and the parents concerning the progress of students. this school needs to offer the students extracurricular activities such as a music class, spanish, piano,and computers. that was a greatidea to adopt the no child left behind rule, but what about the children who's at braddach who is smart and above the rest of their class mates while the majority of students are catching up the smart students are bored. my neice is smart, when she was in the 1st grade she was very bored because the things that she already learned in kindergarden braddach 1st graders was not even learning yet, braddach tested her and found out that she needed to be skipped two grades higher.I only allowed her to be skipped 1 grade, but know she isbored.

This school has let me and my son down in so many ways. 1# he's in grade K and they already have 30 kids in every class! and they are still growning! The teachers have no extra help and they have to give the non-english speaking children an extra 30 mins of there short four hours only to them, while the other 25 just sit there waiting for there teacher to help them. The children that are advanced aren't getting the attention they need and the same goes for the children that need extra help. I was excited to put my child in this school at the start of the school year, but all it's been is a nagative experience. There is very little parent involvement, sorry to say only me and 1 other.

I believe the availability of music, arts, etc. are lacking at this school. I don't believe kids now days are allowed the fun things such as field trips, plays, music events etc. But all in all the teachers are there for the kids it's not the teachers who is at fault you have to go much higher up to put the blame on someone.
