Joseph Brennemann Elementary School was progressing when Mr. Otis Dunson was the principal. The principal is very uninvolved with the students and parents. She brushes or dismisses parents as if they were children. She brags about her child going to a private school and how advanced her child is. The present principal is seldom in the school because she is concentrating on her doctorate degree. I know of a child (4th grader) that was sent to her office and the principal did not let the child eat lunch, and she made the child stand up the whole time the child was in the principal's office. I have called the superintendent of our school district but I think the two of them are buddies. When I was attending the LSC meetings, I was overlooked by most of the members including the principal, when I voiced my concerns via questions. I pray that the Lord will remove this principal out of the children's lives and replace her with a caring principal that does REALLY care about the success of the children...and why wouldn't he or she. The children attending this school are reflections of the educators who are to mold and shape the children's live, preparing for the future.

I am a jr going on to be a sr in High school. When I went to brennemann, some of the teachers did not care bout the students. Said that they dont care they was getting a paycheak, they didnt care if we was goin to fail, we was goin to be there next yr. Made me and other classmates stand in two lines like pre-k and kindergraters. brennemann never really treated us with respect.

when i transferred to this school this year i was shocked! i'am in 8th grade and the students in my class act like 4th graders, it pretty pathic. the other students so soo disrecpectful and have NO self control! its impossable just to learn a lesseon. esscaillay since i want to get some wheere in life!. the school lunches are AWFUL! at my old school we had gym everyday and we got to pick classes that we wanted like art, choir, band, spanish, french, health, etc... not only this but they make us walk in lines with our teacher! when i was in middle school we had a lot of freedom anndd i just feel like kindergrater again its ridcouls. the teacher dont know how to teacher and i most say it seem likes they dont care about the students at all. WORST SCHOOL I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!

At the risk of dating myself, the new principal Mr. Dunson=MacGyver. From his actions, he is very innovative, and is not afraid to break out of the mold.

The school is upcoming Mr .Dunson,the new principal, is doing a wonderful job. My child will be attending the second grade this year. Her experince with Mrs.Owens in the first grade was great.

AWFUL! The principal is terrible. They treat the students like animals, & could care less about the students learning. No wonder all the students are so far behind! I would pull my child out asap. All of the complaints coming from students are 100% validated! Who punishes a student by making them stand up to do his/her work? This school needs quality teachers who care and have a passion to teach as well as a principal who cares about creating a positive learning enviornment where the students progress.
