O'Bryant School Math/Science

I am currently a senior at the O'Bryant. I must say that the efforts made by the students and most of the teachers are great. My current principal, Mr. Sullivan, truly loves the students and has provided great support and help. Unlike our previous principal, Mr. Sullivan can always be found for help and encourages us on a daily basis. My one complaint is that we lack the supplies that I believe a school of math and science. This, however, has never stopped us from striving high and earning fabulous grades and scores. My suggestion is that the BPS system takes a hard look at the three exam schools and realize that we have been ignored and unappreciated for too long.

I'm an alumni and I must say that this school definitely prepared me for college. I'm in one of the best universities in the nation now and I'm kicking butt in all my classes. I know I can attribute this to OB. The academics are great, the teachers were great no matter how much I complained about them. I love the diversity in OB, so many different ethnic backgrounds learning together, it's just wonderful. That's something I miss experiencing now that I'm in a majority white university. The school also offers alot of extracurricular activities and they have ties to MIT, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard and other great companies that one wants to have ties with. OB is definitely worth it and your child just has to be focused and try his/her best to make it in this school (just like in the real world)

I've been here for two years and I'm happy to say that the teachers really do care, they help before,during, and afterschool. There's never something you can't accopmlish academically at the O'bryant!

As an O'Bryant alumni, I believe that the O'Bryant is a fabulous school. I feel that I was more than prepared for college and learned very valuble things at that school. The teachers try to help students that are having difficulties and overall the teachers are amazing. There were many extracurricular activites available that I could not even do everything that I wanted. I would reccomend this school to anyone. I attended O'B from 7th grade until I graduated and I could not say anything better about this school.

I am a current student at the O'Bryant, and I am far impressed at the classes I am offered here. The courses are amazing, and they are only growing. The school has it's own building specifically for music and science. Even the older students are there for each other, staying after school every Tuesday and Thursday for homework help. If there is any school that you are looking to send your child too, I suggest the O'Bryant.

My daughter is completing her first year at the O'Bryant and I can not be more pleased with this school. Academically my daughter has far exceeded my expectations I attribute this to the great support and encouragement from her teachers. The teachers have encouraged her to participate in sports and events that she had never tried before and she has had a great time learning these sports and meeting new friends.I have spent many afternoons with her teachers and office staff cheering on the team. Many of the other test schools do not do this, especially for 7th graders. My daughter is becoming a well rounded student and I feel this will take her far in her future. I have recommended this school to other families and will continue to do so.

The O'Bryant is not the perfect school, but it is a very good school went it comes to the many classes it has to offers and the college prep courses. Yes, the class sizes are increasing, but that is only because of the high demand of students that want to get into the school. I do agree that it does need some improvement, but I must say that it is one of the best public schools in the state.

The O'Bryant is not a very good school. Hardly any help is given when you are at great need. Student complaints are ignored unless accompained by an adult. It is as if students have no say in the way their education should be. I would know all these since I'm a current student but leaving after this year.

As a student of the this school, i would say this is not a exam school. Each class is very pack, one teacher to teach 34 kids. School is very low on federal grants and very low on supplies.
