Research Bryant Elementary School public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“Excellent, personalized education programs provided by caring teachers”

“Bryant was a wonderful school for my children. The teachers are willing to work with a child who may be struggling. They take parents' requests seriously. Like any school setting, the parents need to be assertive in letting the teachers or principal know exactly what they expect.”

“Bryant is a very good school as demonstrated by test scores. While large overall, class sizes are similar to the other excellent schools in NE Seattle. The after school child care and extracurricular activities are second to none. As good as a public school can get.”

“Bryant is a wonderful school. It is large, but due to this it has things other schools don't (science lab, music room etc.) Academics are great, my son is always challenged, with a lot of focus on writing and science. Excellent teachers, and very involved, hands on principal. Tons of parent involvement! Great communication between school and home. Teachers give their home phone numbers in case you need to talk with them. Environment at school is cutting edge, and progressive, but still upholds traditional values and discipline. Very balanced in my opionion, and an excellent choice. Would love to see more socioeconomic and ethnic diversity, which is lacking probably due to it's NE Seattle location. Beautiful remodeled building, great test scores, fantastic after school activity choices, happy kids. What more could you want!”

“My son. who is a special needs child is in the blended Kindergarten program this year. We were impressed with the fact that the teacher was willing to work closely with our son's therapist.”

“Don't get me wrong, the curriculum was strong, but the execution was poor here. We left the school (2004) because the leadersuip was not strong. The school lacks a cohesive philisophy that pulls together all the classrooms and it's teachers. As a large school this is an issue, espcially with the enormous amount of parent involvement that is seen here. My daughter's classroom was in chaos. Her teacher was forced to deal with several bullies that I felt should have been taken care of by the principal in a much stronger way. There are many interesting classes offered after school but they seemed over crowded and mostly daycare substitutions; as though it was better to have too many kids than quality. Bryant is a great idea poorly executed.”
