Brentano Math & Science Academy

Having taught for six years at a charter school, I can tell you that Brentano Math and Science Academy is a great school. The students at Brentano are smart and talented kids. I am the drama teacher for the new program that started in August. The principal and vice principal are extremely supportive of the arts.
We are having our first play, an adaptation of «The Wizard of Oz» that will have two performances: Friday May 30^th at 7pm and Saturday May 31^st at 2pm. We have a beautiful auditorium and I am thrilled that they decided to start a Drama department at Brentano. This is the best teaching job I have ever had and I am proud of the work we are doing. Come check out the show and see for yourself!

I am extremely proud to be a 3^rd grade teacher at Brentano Math and Science Academy! Our school is now a Level 1 school, meaning it is in excellent standing according to CPS. This past year on the NWEA, a computer based assessment that tests for student growth, our student’s scored in the top 1% of all schools in the United States.
We also have the support of an amazing community through organizations such as the Friends of Brentano. Logan Square is a tight-​knit community that loves to keep things local.
Plus, our school has our very own cute little soccer field! It just goes to show how unique and full of character Brentano is. Come take a tour inside and see all of the beautiful hand painted murals, smiling faces, and colorful classrooms for yourself!

Where I spent my formative years. It’s a fairly middling school, according to Chicago Public Schools report. I wouldn’t send my kids there. Its best stat seems to be for attendance: it shows a 94% attendance rate. For what that’s worth. The only notable things about the school are 1) it’s one of a handful of schools powered by solar energy, and 2) the assistant principal is Julia Roberts.
