Brentwood Science Magnet

"I have a child in the second grade attending Brentwood for the first time and at first both she and I were very content with her teacher and school, until they divided her class into a combo classroom of first graders and second due to the schools low enrollment. My child was coming home with first grade homework and also receiving first grade instruction in class. I tried reaching out to the school principal at least 8 times leaving him message after message to no avail. He never returned not one phone call. I decided to remove my child from this school as soon as the magnet school window opens once again. I’m truly disappointed with the school and principal ."

"My boys are so happy in this school. Amazing teachers who really care for the students. To be honest last few months the school had some students discipline issues. But the school has a new principal who has being working hard to shape the school even better how it was before and we have seen some changes already. We can’t wait for the new school year to start."

"This school is horrible...it DOES tolerate bullying, it has no structure nor consequences for those who do the bullying, nor do they care. They do not inform you of incidents, so hopefully your child is very verbal about things. And god forbid your child decides to actually defend themselves one day...they will be sent to the prinipals office about why they are angry that 5 kids are surrounding them calling them names ans shoving them in a circle and not one parent called. Horrible school with no discipline."

"The GREATEST school I have ever attended. It was long ago, but I still remember this school as being one of the greatest schools I've ever attended. The school was rich in culture.. ...it was so diverse....it's unbelievable... I met so many cool kids here.. I was exposed to so many different cultures...it was amazing... this school also went on many cool field trips and offered some of the best programs like computer, advanced science programs, & even music programs every student could take part in if they wanted to, which made it different from other elementary schools ....THE BEST! The teachers were also outstanding and the staff were very friendly, always willing to help when possible! ... I haven't been there in YEARS but I hope nothing has changed ...overall I had an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!"

"Fabulous school. One of the best schools in LAUSD, a Magnet which pulls students from all over the Los Angeles area, creating a diverse student body in which the real world is reflected. Often private schools can be too insulating and do not give students real world stimulation. Our child loved the experience, solidifying an educational foundation that is responsible for his current academic prowess."
