School Reviews
2 8/1/2015
Brinnon school is a terrible school. Unfortunately its the only school in Brinnon and the superintendent will not allow any student to transfer or be homeschooled. More injuries happen at this school due to lack of attention from staff. The staff rarely communicates with the parents yet they are quick to call to have a child removed from the school if their motives are questioned. The staff is discriminative and I would never recommend this school to anyone.
