Brandenburg Elementary School

My son attends Brandenburg and I am totally satisfied and impressed. The teachers and principal go above and beyond in making sure the kids are well taken care of. You will see lots of teachers guiding them at the carpark, every corner of the hallway in the mornings.They have also conducted heaps of programs for parents, e,g , Strong Fathers, Carnival, just to list a few , making it fun for the kids. Great Job !.

Had Mrs. Corton and Mrs. Fernandez this year and it was wonderful. They were excellent teacher. Communication was great -- they not only informed you of what was going on but was was expected from your child at different stages of the school year. They push their student to a higher level, they do not baby their student and the students are so much more awarded academically. Both our kids have really enjoyed the dual language program. We are staying in the area just for the dual language program.

My daughter goes to Brandenburg and is in their dual language program. We have really been satisfied and impressed with the dual language. I feel like we are finally catching up with the rest of the world in teaching our children two languages.

My daughter attended this chool from K through 3 and we moved to N Arlington. We are planning to move back to Irving for her 5th grade year because of their dual language program at Brandenburg. The teachers worked well together and the students could speak English and Spanish very well.

I too have a child in Ms Corton and Ms Fernandez class and strongly agree with previous parent about communicaton between teacher and parent. He was also at Brandenburg last year and excellent communication between teachers and myself. Both years I was able to have meetings and conference calls when I was unable to make it to the school. I really appreciate the new security proceedure put into place for visitors on campus.

Highly disorganized school, lacking in communication with parent(s), teachers are disinterested regarding students' well-being. Requested several times with teacher, staff, and principal to have items addressed throughout the schoolyear, such as safety, organization, actually meet the required amount of parent-teacher conferences, and things have only been shuffled around and excuses given. Planning on moving out of this district as soon as possible to put my child into school where the staff members will care, and education will be put first instead of last. The school is good about planning extra-curricular activities however, anything so they won't have to focus on the actual child. Just don't expect to be notified about said activities, or given the information needed to ensure your child will have lunch, necessary uniform, etc.
