Brywood Elementary School

The teachers are Brywood are mostly good, there are a few that continue to raise questions as to why when there are so many teachers out of work why does Brywood keep it's weakest links? The clerk at this school is ridiculously rude and the Principal knows it and does nothing. The clerk has been very inappropriate even teasing my kids. The Principal domains over everything at this school in a very controlling manner. She has favorites who may do as they please and all others need to stay out of their way. The school has been grooming its lawn and made it unavailable for kids use for almost a year now, this is not your house, the lawn want be perfect, let the kids play. I was very involved and saw behind the curtain too often to ignore what I saw and what I know.

I went to this school for my younger one, I was disappointed so much because of the clerk lady at the front office. Not only she gave me a bad impression ( no eye contact and very blunt) but also did a unusual( district clerk said) lousy job, so I need to go the district office again and wait a long line and have to explain things what happened! I heard a lot of good things about the principal they had but we don't get to talk to the principal that much than the office lady.

Although the quality of teachers vary as in most schools, I got the sense that all teachers try hard, and they do emphasize education and good manners. The only negative is the facility is not all that impressive, and there are too many students per teacher (33+). Maybe this is due to the budget crisis affecting CA.

My children have been attending this school for a few years, We have found the teachers are very good with the children and understand how to get the best results for different types of children. We have also found that many any of the complaints that we have heard from other perents are not based in facts or reason. many times people look past the flaws of there children to blame the educators for there lack of perenting. This has been a great school for our oldest 2 children and we look forward to sending our youngest 2 there as well.

Very happy with the teachers, the administration, and the parent organizations. There's even a unique dad's activity council that hosts extra events above and beyond the PTA.

Brywood is a wonderful school and I feel their teachers are amazing. They are highly qualified, care for their students, and really challenge each child to perform at the best of their ability. I am impressed also with the great principal who was new this past year! My child had a great Kinder experience and the K teachers are SUPERB! They care deeply and are very affectionate towards the children.

I am excited that my daughter will be attending Brywood Elementary. The Kindergarten palyground is one of the few in Irvine that is secured by a locked brick wall so the kids can't wander off. The front office is strict on their rules and require phone passes from teachers in order for a student to make a call. Even if the student pleads.
