This school offers excellent academics, I have learned so much. I was also very please when I took the ACT and received an excellent score. If you want to get into a top college attend this school, they prepare you for what is ahead. However, this school has a bad bullying problem. It never happened to me but, I witnessed a lot of unjust things go on. Besides that this school is among the top in the nation to my standards.

It is a great school for education. It also has a very traditional feel to it. It is certainly among the top private schools in the region.

We gave our local public schools a really fair chance to educate our children and prepare them for the future. The experience became increasingly disappointing. They are simply too overwhelmed to give the individual attention and guidance necessary to help children succeed. Brownell-Talbot School has been an outstanding experience for our children. They are learning AND they are excited about learning, doing well, competing academically, in speech, in sports. They are meeting children from various ethnicities, religions, socio-economic backgrounds. They are benefitting from the most enthusiastic teachers, dedicated staff, an active parent-teacher association. We're just sorry we took so long to enroll our children here!

This school is shockingly bad! I discovered that more time was spent disciplining than educating the children. The education they did receive was substandard. I question why some of the teachers chose the teaching profession, they were so very inept. The attitude of the administration is appalling. Luckily, we have enough money that I can afford to pull my kids out mid-year. But I now realize that on the admission form the tuition refund insurance box to check is there for a reason.

This is a college preparatory school that does MUCH more than preparing students to succeed in college. Brownell-Talbot teaches their students to succeed in LIFE.

Our experience with BT has been very positive. Our kids are encouraged to try new things, and take on leadership opportunities. The small class size is the main reason we chose Brownell. We are just starting the college application process, and are receiving a great deal of guidance. If you apply yourself, and follow the schools advice, this school will get you where you want to be.

This is a school where it is cool to be smart.. Students are constantly challenged to excel in academics as well as extra curricular activities. The faculty is dedicated to help and encourage students to succeed in anything they want to pursue. The students are very well prepared for college and to succeed in life. We definitely recommend this school for all grade levels.

Our children have attended Brownell Talbot since pre-school and their experience has been very good. The small class sizes have allowed them to participate in multiple extra-cirricular activities and decide for themselves what activities they want to continue to pursue. Our kids are quite the opposite of one another yet Teachers' and Administrators' are able to motivate both of them in different ways to be no just good students but good people as well. The Brownell Talbot experience has prepared our childern for life after high school.

We started at Brownell-Talbot when my son was in 3rd grade. To be honest, I had my reservations about putting my son in a private school but was very disappointed with the Mc-Education he was receiving in the Millard School District. Not only was I pleasantly surprised by the diversity that Brownell-Talbot had to offer, I was very pleased with how the school offered various financial aid options. My son is about to enter the high school level at B-T and he has been involved in nearly every activity they have to offer. Because the school's primary focus is on college preparedness, he has already earned scholarship money for college from one of the various academic competitions he participated in. I am very grateful for the opportunities this school presents their students and for the well-rounded individuals that they help create. This is a GREAT school.
