Lucile Bruner Elementary School

This is a great school. I have three children enrolled here and volunteer to help as much as possible in the classroom. It is sad that many will not look past this supposed ranking of 2 out of 10 based on test scores...not due to the teachers. Being in the school as much as I have been for the past 5 years, it seems the parents do not take their children's education very seriously. Absenteeism is high and kids move around the school district at the drop of a hat. How can one expect a child to learn and then translate this to state test scores when they simply don't show up or never have a chance to adjust and are pulled from curriculum to curriculum because of families moving around the county for a variety of reasons? I get to see first-hand the caliber of teachers at this school and they are second to none. I am well-educated myself so my standards are high..It would be nice to see more parents stepping up and realizing the integral role they need to play in educating their child. Please don't determine the greatness or lack thereof of a school on a standard that is very difficult to uphold when families don't do their part..volunteer and see for yourself. GET INVOLVED!!

I am a high school student who attended Bruner for six years. Every year was amazing and unforgettable. My peers, every year, became almost like a second family to me, and my teachers became a part of this family. They were like my best friends. Mrs. Howard was the principal then during that time period. We still go back to go to the multicultural festival every year... The teachers were always kind and patient with the students, and aimed to teach subject matter and responsibility with equal weight. I always looked forward to going to school, to seeing my teachers, to learning something new, and to see me friends' smiling faces and knowing they felt the same. I can't express the gratitude I have for every staff member and former student alike, and I can only hope it hasn't changed a bit. From my friends' younger siblings' stories, I don't doubt my faith in this school's future, at all.

This school was realy wonderful. I am sad to say we unfortunately had to move and I was tired of driving my child so far away. Goynes Elemmentary is such a terible school. Below, I will list the trachers my child had: Kindergarden:Ms. Tavernini 1st Grade: Ms.Martin 2nd Grade: Ms.Stoll 3rd Grade: Mrs.King MOVED DURING 3RD GRADE Goynes Elementary school teachers: 3rd Grade: Mrs. Brodus 4th Grade: Mrs.Richards 5th Grade: Mrs. Jackson THEN Mrs.Bennet Unfortunately, Mrs.Jackson became a drama teacher in a diffrent department. I felt realy bad for my kids because they had the meanest substitudes for over 2 months.

I had two of my three children enrolled in Bruner years ago. Failure of assistance from the Principal in a serious threat, provoked me to pull the children out and homeschool for 2 years. I am now searching for a public school and willing to give the school system another try and I will definetly NOT be enrolling them at this school!

My students attended Bruner last year and had a great year. Mrs. Stoll and Mrs. Hrdina are wonderful teachers, and my children had a wonderful experience.

I have 4 kids enrolled in this school from 2nd grade to 5th grade. Our 5th graders have attended Bruner since Kindergarten. The teachers are great and our kids love it.
