I would not recommend sending your kid to this school! The homework the teachers give us isn't effective and, it's confusing. Also they only take a grade on homework for completion so, it doesn't matter if you get all the answers wrong or right. Most kids just right down whatever. Leadership at this school is not effective, to be honest, they're not really any leaders in this school. Most of the kids in this school are just rude and disrespectful. This school doesn't have strong character in it's students. The students in this school are very disrespectful but, I don't blame them because the faculty/staff are very disrespectful too. This school DOES NOT effectively deal with bullying, I told a teacher I was being bullied by a girl sitting next to me in class and I asked her twice to move me away from the bully in class and she didn't do anything about it until, my mom complained to the school. This school also has a dress code issue, this school believes girls are OBJECTS and that we will distract boys if we are wearing Shorts, Skirts, Leggings, Etc. I think that this school should teach boys self-control and that us girls are not OBJECTS and that they should teach them to keep their eyes on what they're supposed to be focusing on and, if the boy can't, they should be punished not the girl. This school should also focus more on their academics because most the kids are failing.

School is overcrowded and administration is distant and out of touch. School tells you to look at Pinnacle for grade information, but grades are entered too late for parental intervention to help the student. School does not follow handbook, but uses it as an excuse for not doing things. Special Education students are placed on the backburner and treated like second class citizens. Gifted classes are primarily for the children of school employees so that they can be kept apart from the "general population." Bryant seems to have good elementary and high schools, but both of their middle schools are in the multi year failure category on the benchmark eaxms for Special Ed subgroup. Instead of trying to fix the problem, they offer summer enrichment classes for Gifted and Talented students, and tell Special Education parents there is no help available during the summer because there is no money.
