Brandywine Springs School

BRADYWINE SPRINGS USED TO BE A WONDERFUL SCHOOL MY CHILDREN ATTENDED FOR 4 1/2 YEARS.ALTHOUGH SINCE THEY HAVE NEW LEADERS WHICH INCLUDE PRINCIPAL, & ADMINISTRATION I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE. CHILDREN ARE GREAT, MY KIDS WERE NOT BULLIED BY CHILDREN. THEY LOVED GOING TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY, LOOKED FORWARD TO FRIENDS & TEACHERS, UNTIL THIS YEAR. THEY WERE ONLY BULLIED BY PRINCIPAL, ADMINISTRATION AND WE HAD TO LEAVE SCHOOL FOR MY CHILDRENS SAFETY. MY CHLD WAS BEING PHYSICALLY HURT BY THEM. FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL AND DISTRICT TO PUT YOUR KIDS IN!!!!

Brandywine springs is a wonderful school. I have been there for 4 years and I love the school. The teachers are great at teaching. Bullying happens a little. My sister gets bullied often and so do I. Make sure your child is confident before they attend this school or they will get picked on.

Mixed reviews on this school. I had 3 kids there from 2000-2010. Elementary was awesome - great teachers (except for one 2nd grade teacher) that not only taught the kids well but were supportive and nurturing. The middle school experience was horrible though. Not very well thought out in regards to exploratory classes, sports, clubs, or field trips, and only a few good teachers in the 3 years of middle school. Most should be fired because they were that bad. When the school first opened all the teachers were hand picked but for some reason it seems middle school got all the rejects that other schools didn't want. The difference between the elementary teachers and middle school teachers was like night and day. Also, the teachers did what they wanted and walked all over the principal the past couple of years so it's probably a good thing he retired. I rated the principal leadership low because of that. For elementary, it's a very good school but I'd advise going elsewhere for middle school. Parental involvement has remained strong over the years and is certainly one of the advantages to this school.

BSS is a wonderful, warm, welcoming place. Students and families are valued. It is suce a wonderful place that it has grown t o over 1,000 students in grades k-8. This year, they have addedn 15 new staff members to accommodate full-day K and the new 8th grade. It's obvious that the great principal Mr. Cooke is the reason that everyone wants to go to BSS!!!

My grandchildren attend this school and it is fantastic. The principal is involved in every aspect of the school and knows the children by name. Each child is greeted, daily, as if they are an important vip, where they enter the school domain.

Brandywine Springs is a school like no other! The teachers are innovative, challenging, loving and fun. The administration has an undying dedication to the students and their families. Parent involvement is like no other. Walking through the halls you will always find a parent volunteer giving their time and self to the studnets. Every child who enters that building finds a home. They children show their love of the school everyday in positive behavior and excellent achievements. Brandywine Springs is the place to be.

Brandywine Springs is an exceptional school. Mr. Cooke is a fabulous Principal. He is involved in every aspect of the school and deeply cares about the children and teachers. The teachers, custodial staff, and volunteers are so dedicated to their professions and it shows in the education that is provided to the students.

Both of my children absolutely love Brandywine Springs. This is our 3rd yr with the school and would never think of leaving! The teachers are great and so helpful and positive with the kids. Mr. Cooke is great and very good at his job! Keep it up! We are exciting for yet another great year.

My daughter absolutely loves Branywine Springs. She was in kindergarten last year and can't wait for school to start. Her teacher was amazing and the extra activites were so much fun (basketball, French club and cooking were her favorites). We look forward the the next several years.
