Brinker Elementary School Reviews

 
Our daughter had excellent teachers throught the years. But i agree with the comment that there are various groups among parents.if you are not in it you will not get any chance to involve in any of the actvities. I also noted that PTA parents get their choice of teachers for every year. thier children actually boast about that in class that they got to choose which teacher they wanted as class teacher.I feel kids are basically good, but a group of parents feel they are privilleged and hence encourage kids act out that way. compared to Barksdale in west plano, extracurricular activites( clubs , after school programs ) are nil in this school. I will take any other west plano school over this one on academical and social environment.

My son was in Ms. Snowdens class this year for Kindergarten. Ms. Snowden is a GREAT teacher and I really enjoyed having her as my sons teacher. I enjoyed our year at Brinker but was a little disappointed with the other parents. It seemed like if you were not in the same social circle, you are not included in after school events.

Our daughter is a kindergartner at Brinker Elementary. We feel that she is receiving an outstanding education. She is challenged every day and is learning on a consistent basis. We are pleased by what she has learned. Her teacher has been in the field of education for 30 years and is loved and respected by the students. She provides excellent leadership for the kindergarten classes. Children attend physical education daily, art and music twice a week, and library once a week. Parent involvement at Brinker is fantastic as well. Parents are scheduled on a volunteer basis to work in the PTA sponsored 'work room' to assist classroom teachers in preparation for upcoming lessons. Kindergarten parents also have the opportunity to be reading buddies and to participate on a center committee. Various after school PTA sponsored activities are also available to the children. Some activities include: Spanish Club, Art, and chess.

My 5 year old goes to this school. After 3 months, my conclusion is this school is better than most privates

This is a great school, excellent education plan.

Great teachers. As a parent I feel a little detached from the school. Some times it seems we are not allowed to be too involved. Lots of money in this school which makes it nice, but some of the parents are way too pretentious.

Nice affluent school. They push the children a little too hard. Too much home work and too much learning at once.

Brinker is a community in and of itself. The PTA is extremely active, and the teachers/faculty really care about the kids and working directly with parents. Academically, the school is quite challenging.

Brinker has gone through 3 principals in 3 years. Many of Plano ISD's experienced principals were forced into retirement in 2004 due to a tax law. This caused Plano ISD to promote inexperienced principal interns into the vacancies. 2004-2005 has been a difficult transitional year for Brinker with our new inexperienced principal. I do not feel that our new principal has the experience to understand the impact of parent volunteers or that she appreciates their value. Maybe she will learn this over time, but it has been a tough year.

Brinker is awesome! My family and I recently relocated to Plano from another state,and we choose Plano because of it's 'Recognized' state rating. Brinker's rating is 'Exemplary' and well deserved. The entire faculty works hard and they believe in striving for sucess. My child's teacher helped her transition to a new school sucessful. She enjoys school and adores her new teacher and friends. The schools PTA is very supportive.

This has been an excellent school for my child. Brinker challenges academically in a nurturing environment. It helps its students become self learners, encourages creativity and teaches them how to shine. I just love this school!
