Bryant Ranch Elementary School

I am so pleased with Bryant Ranch. Amid budget cuts for several years in a row, the test scores and API have gone up. Students are doing well despite fewer school days. The teachers are working so hard to present the required curriculum. The principal is friendly and accessible. Glad we moved here.

Great School! Principal is open to hear parent's concerns and there are so many ways to get involved to stay well informed. Teachers work to meet every child's needs while managing all of the required curriculum and testing. The PTA meets monthly to arrange programs, manage fund raising in these trying economic times, and keep the really cool traditions of Bryant Ranch going. If more parents would get involved it would be even better.

Fantastic school, teachers and principal! This school encourages parent participation. Highly responsive to concerns when brought to the administration's attention. Many opportunities to volunteer on campus. PTA encourages parents to attend monthly meetings to keep aware of school activities and issues. The majority of staff, students and parents have a positive "find a solution" perspective, which lends to creating a positive environment for the students. One of the best schools in the district!

Very concerned about incidents on playground. It seems that there is not enough recognition of those students who cause problems,either physically or verbally, and action being brought against them to stop their bad choices. Principle has refused to hear concerns and need to address issues with parents that have brought situations and concerns to her. School board and district should start paying attention more to this school and it's way it addresses parents concerns. We are not being heard by a principle who is not active and aware of their surroundings.

Finding it hard to want to get involved in a school that is unwelcoming to new volunteers. Have had the sad experience of not feeling that there is support from staff, for those wanting to be involved. Staff,including principle, need to be involved more, and more welcoming and helpful or parents will choose to not help out. This was told to be a school known for its parent participation. What has happened is the question?

Not enough supervision at lunch time has led to many instances of bullying. Principal feels there is not a problem and down plays events. Clearly she does not grasp direct and indirect bullying and that to ensure no climate of fear exists needs to have more instruction on this topic. X2 to x3 times a year is simply putting the head in the sand

The Principal is known for being responsive to parents concerns. She was off campus at a District meeting the day I called. She contacted me after hours later that day to make sure my concern was addressed. I didn't think my question was that important. She made our family feel really important and that we mattered. We are glad to have our daughter under her academic leadership.

Bryant Ranch Elementary provides a safe, academically thriving environment for our child. We, like most of the families at Bryant Ranch, did the research and choose to move here based on Bryant Ranch Elementary's 900+ API scores, teacher qualifications, parent participation, PTA academic supplimental programs, and a very compitent, highly qualified Principal that is not afraid to expect the very best. We are very happy with our decision to place our child at Bryant Ranch.

the teaching staff, office support staff (sue and Jan), Mrs. Silverman demonstrate a sincere desire to support the children and encourage their emotional and educational growth in a positive and patiently persistent manner. They are proactive in communicating with us as parents and with the students in respect to achievments and consequences for negative behavior. I am very pleased with the educational growth and socialization skills develepment my child has demonstrated since his enrollment in Bryant Ranch Elementary.
