Both of my daughters began at Bear Branch in kinder. The teachers and staff are amazing! There is always something going on..clubs, festivals, spirit night, etc. Wonderful school! I could not be happier!

Amazing experience for both of my children. They started at Bear Branch in the third and forth grades after leaving the Woodlands and we have extremely happy.

While I've read some of the older comments, I think it's important to remember them in context of older administrators. Our children have loved this school the past two years they've attended. The teachers are so sincerely caring and striving for excellence in all of the students, to the best of each child's individual capacity. The PTO is very involved and it's obvious the parent's and the staff care a great deal for keeping the standards for integrity high.

I recently moved to Magnolia, from East Coast schools and was concerned that my children may not get a great education in small town TX. I have discovered my fear to be unfounded, this school is outstanding! The Principal is so kind, dedicated, and a true leader. All the teachers are so wonderful, that said I have to acknowledge Mr. Hawkins my daughters math teacher. He is the most tremendous educator I have ever seen. My daughter could have struggled with the transition instead she is flourishing, loves math ( which she never did before) more importantly he encourages her, empowers her and his commitment is unsurpassed! Thank you BB and to all who read this, I do not typically write these glowing reviews, felt inspired by Mr. Hawkins who sent my wife and I an unsolicited note to celebrate our daughters achievements and employing us to acknowledge her at home, which we certainly will!!

School has bullying issues that they don't resolve. Brush it under the rug and pretend nothing happened.

My daughter is now attending MHS and doing very well. I feel that it was the foundation of the education she received at BBES. The teachers were caring, challenging and always wanted the best for every child.
