Brandon High School

"This is a call to all the parent that have their child in this school. I will start by telling my story, so you all can understand why I’m giving this such a poor rate. My child was participating in a after school activity at the gym when a night school student that was not support to be in school at that time (trespassing) enter the building and attacked my child. In front of more than three teacher, even though the teacher saw that he was attacked by this guy (YES, a guy because he is 19 years old) he got suspended for 5 day from school because he defend himself, this is called self-defense. I went to the school today, and basically I was kicked out of the school. She was so disrespectful, to be more specific her name is Ms. Allen, I asked to talk to the Principal and her answer was that she wasn't available. My child is an Honor student, never had any issue, no ISS, no Student Detention after school, No lunch detention, never had any problem. One thing she told me was "I have to do this because of the school reputation" Really? So, you prefer to suspend a student just for the school reputation? Because of this, there many children committing suicide because of the BULLYING, and because they don’t receive the support from the school when they need it. The school system is much decomposed. What about if that guy stab my kid instead of punching him in the face? What if he had shot him, as happened before? I just want to said, that we as parent need to give our child the support and education they need. I called the Hillsborough County School Board and I made a report of this issue and i will called today again I will go as far as I can because this is no fair, I know life is not fair but parent remember if we don’t have our kids back nobody will, and remember OUR KID ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. If we as parent, don’t teach them to faugh for their right (with no violence) this world will be full of beasts, brute and horrible people oppressing others. Mrs.Sparano you are the one who has the baton of the school, as Principal. Look around, and see if those who work there, are forming the students to become good people, or are there to make the life of the students' squares?"

"I went there 4 years and actually hated everything exept autotech, the new principal isn't strict, she's just mean. Don't send your kids their"

"The school pychologist sucks. He refused to let my son do virtual schooling. So my son ended up dropping out. Luckily I moved and my daughter doesn't have to go there."

"Mrs. Perez likes to HANG UP ON parents when they have a questions.!!!!!! I also do not like the fact my daughter should FORCE TO take classes if she is not interested.."

"The principal is an A+, professional and care about all the students. Unfortunately, the activities lack of organization is terrible and JROTC should have more adult supervision."
