Brentwood Elementary

Our current 7^th grader attended Brentwood for 4^th and 5^th grade. We loved the community, the teachers, the music teacher, the physical education, the effort that was made to go green! Our 4 year old will be attending Kindergarten next year, and while some of our neighbors have chosen Gullett, I am truly commited to Brentwood. The diversity there is very important to my husband and I and my now 7^th grader really learned a lot about other cultures. Highly recommended. Why drive to another school when it is in our neighbor and walking distance. We love Brentwood!

At the heart of the Brentwood and Crestview neighborhoods, Brentwood Elementary is one of the best kept secrets in Austin. Brentwood was built in 1951 and hasn’t changed much since then. The classrooms are quaint, the teachers are friendly and communicative, and the administration is extremely pleasant to work with!
We love Brentwood for their commitment to building community both in and outside of the classrooms. The emphasis on lifeskills (like integrity, honesty, courage, etc) and the Tribes curriculum have spilled over into our daily home life. I catch my kids saying, «Mom, thanks for displaying the lifeskill of friendship by making macaroni for lunch!» Sounds dorky, but it has worked for us!
We also love Brentwood’s diversity, both economic and racial, and the extra mile that the teachers and staff put it to build bridges across the divide.
We’re proud to say that our kids will attend through the 2020’s (damn, we’re gonna be old)…
