Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am very vested in special education and being that Brentwood has just decided to open the school to this concept, they have a lot to work on. They need special day classes and not intergrate students with extreme behavoiral issues in general education classes.

Brentwood Elementary has such a good sense of community and 'family first' about it. Whenever I walk onto campus, I feel like I'm home! The administration, teachers, & students are polite and welcoming. Our fundraisers are fun and we invite the entire community to come participate in our yearly carnival. We love Brentwood Elementary and it will be a sad day when we have to move on.

Brentwood School has been an awesome experience for my girls. Starting in kinder with Joanie Friedmen, going all the up to Kristen Benko in 5th grade. ALL the teachers at this school have amazing qualities. The care for the kids mental health all the way through studies has been awesome. Margo Olson has been a wonderful leader for this school. I have been very blessed to have these wonderful teachers for my girls.

We moved to Brentwood this year and are thrilled with this school. My 3rd garde son's teacher ( Mrs. Mills) is deserving of much praise. She has made learning so interesting and fun in my sons eyes. She has a great attitude regarding testing and helps these children meet state standards in a way that is positive and not over bearing . She really has a grasp on teaching children in a way where she gets a very positive response. We are so impressed with Mrs Mills and the school overall. The level od parental involvement is fantastic. We will be attending our second funraiser tonight in the last week. This is so important now with the crisis our public schools Go Brentwood Bull Dogs- We Love you!!!!!

I love Brentwood Elementary. I have had such great luck with wonderful teachers for my daughter. I love all of the activities that they offer the kids - a real learning environment.

Extremely impressed by the school specially the principal Mrs. Olson. She is so caring and very focused to improve the standards of the students and the school. She works hard to make sure the students are challenged and not just come to the school. Teachers like Stacey Hernandez, Mrs. McNamara and others are outstanding. Even the staff supporting the school are excellent. I am sure this will shine in the future.

We moved here 1 year ago and couldn't be happier with this school. Great teachers!

We just moved into the state of CA and I have 3 children enrolled at Krey. The principal at this school seems very interested in maintaining and improving the safety, however, compared to the state we just moved from, GA, there is a lot of room for improvement in school safety. The teachers seem motivated and very good at their jobs. My only concerns would be the safety and the level where CA is educating their children vs. where we left off in GA, surprisingly, GA seems to be much more rigorous and more well-rounded. (I am very happy with Krey vs. other schools in this area)
