Amazingly supportive for children who need a boost of confidence and care. I have twins; one son needs some extra attention in social and scholastic development. He is showered with resources at Bryden. I am notified when he needs help and in one semester his confidence has grown and he's been promoted to a higher reading group. The other son needs less special attention but it getting excellent reading advancement in one semester. I had both children in private school last year and it was a complete waste of money. the Bryden program is very well rounded in music and gym whereas the private school was very one dimensional in academics. The teachers are wonderful, the program is excellent, and the focus on social development is outstanding. I am thrilled to have my boys at this school. I've spoken to other mothers who's sons have flourished at Bryden vs other schools.

I just want to comment on the 2nd grade class of mrs.Bridget keil. My son hunter is a vary bright and adventurous child he has rapidly advanced in his speech developement since attending bryden elementary. He is alot more vocal and i believe that bryden has a lot to do with his improvement. The progress is slow but sure and promising. I see a tremendous difference in his vocal skills.Thank you brydenfor being consistent with his progress.

Bryden is certainly a great place for children. Beachwood in general is a community that values both children and education. Not just because this community spends more per pupil than any system in the State of Ohio. Or just because of the outstanding class student/teacher ratios. Beachwood is a top-quality system that is responsive to students and parents. It is wonderfully diverse with tremendous resources. Our middle school was the first public school in the Country to issue laptops to all students. It is an exclusive private school-quality education that is included in our (low) taxes and it is truly the best choice if you are considering relocating to the Cleveland area.

Excellent! Mrs. Galan is a great 2nd grade teacher. Wonderful programs and a superior Counselor on board. Ethics and virtues an intergral tool they use.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
