I have two students attending Brewbaker to 19-20 school year. I really appreciate my daughter's six teachers whom worked together and stayed on top of everything online during the covid 19. Even my son's teachers did their job as well in the eighth grade. They all communicate with me through dojo and my children through goggle classroom. Ms. Robinson even extend her assistance every day. I appreciate the team and I am looking forward to my daughter having some awesome teachers in the seventh grade as she did this term. Hopefully, my son will also have a wonderful teacher in high school. My advice to all parent be active and communicate with school staff and teachers. Let them know you are an active, concern parent, it truly makes a difference. The administration staff was awesome as well. Ms. Sanders and Jackson addressed my concerns, thank you.

This school is out of control the principle is always letting these kids run around they skip they fight and its just everywhere the teachers are there everyday getting angry because they have students running around screaming in their doorway when they are trying to teach just this past Friday a girl got jumped over mess some teachers they curse and the principle is always on the intercom Interrupting the teachers calling for students it makes me so angry sometimes send your child here and you'll be back in a few hours because of the noise level don't get me wrong now you will learn but they do teach u life lessons and prepare you for the future. Thank you have a nice day................
