My sibling and I are alum of twinbrook es. We remember the school with happiness. The building seems much smaller than we remember. We loved our teachers and made many lasting friendships.
2 6/8/2010
The school is lacking in leadership and drives out good teachers. School bulling is rampant and no action is taken against the bullies. I was label as white flight because I pulled my son out of the school and place him in private school.
2 1/11/2010
My son currently attends and he is being bullied. The Principal doesn't care or do anything about it. My son was even kicked in his privates. The school did nothing. My son is currently staying home until I can figure out what to do next. I am contacting a Lawyer.
