“I have been a substitute and a volunteer at this school and although some teachers are super, others are disrespectful, unprepared, and untruthful. The same goes for the administration. Communication and Teamwork are this school's weakness. Teaching is not an individual accomplishment, it takes communication, teamwork, and compassion. Most of the teachers at this school share in those traits, but the ones who do not spoil the opportunity to be more successful.”

“I love this school, very friendly and informative. the teacher are great! i would recomend it. It ratings for all the schools in cobb is it in the 80-90's so that is wonderful.”

“This is not a great school to send if your child has special needs. I strongly advise against it.”

“Brumby is the best! It has the hardest working teachers in Cobb County! The teachers do not get the credit that they deserve. Good job, Brumby teachers!”

“My son has been at Brumby Primary for 2 years. His teachers have been excellent. But there are many problems at this school such as 1) terrible communication between the school and the parents, 2) close to zero parental involvement, 3) no soap in the bathrooms With all the help that is offered to this school it is so sad that they can not capitalize on it. There are also no extracurricular activities.”

“My children have been going to Brumby since kindergarten. My oldest son is in the 4th grade now. Brumby could use a lot of work. My children have [5 times] been sent home the wrong way (riding the bus home when they needed to go to ASP, or ASP when they needed to ride the bus). There is a lack of communication between the teachers, administrators, and parents. I love the teachers that my children have been blessed with, but Brumby just seems to be a little behind when it comes to quality of work and education. They're not as well-organized as other schools in the country. I do think Brumby has a lot of potential. They have a wonderful, caring staff, but someone needs to do something differently.”

“Brumby Intermediate School is truly a magical place. My child started at Brumby in third grade, and is now in fifth. In her time there, my daughter has not only excelled academically, but she has become a better person. She has learned to accept and celebrate all cultures (including her own), she has learned to judge people by their character, and she has learned that language differences and cultural differences don't stand in the way of friendship. If we had stayed in our old district, where there was minimal diversity, I don't know if she would be the same child she is now. Any school can teach kids to read and write, but it takes a special place to teach love, acceptance, and colorblindness. Brumby is such a place. If you have never been to Brumby, I highly recommend a visit.”

“I personally think that Brumby does not get the credit it deserves. My family and I are not originally from GA, and when my son entered Mrs. Burkes class he could not read, math was not his favorite thing to do, and he was not in the least bit interested in school. By the first report card, my son was reading, writing, and coming home telling me things I didn't know about science. The afterschool program has also been a big help for me and my family, because his homework was always done! Raising a child takes teamwork, not just the work of the teachers.”

“Great school with a great staff! This school is truly committed to making each and every day successful for each individual student.”

“I also believe that overall the school has alot of positives. But as they say a few bad apples spoil the bunch. I think teachers as a whole need to be trained on how to deal with children 'diagnosed' with adhd and/or add. The need to not alienate these children is very high. The asp program should have better and more timely tracking of funds. All the classes should have chairs and tables to accomodate the growing body of the children attending this school.”

“Overall I think Brumby is a great school with a few exceptions. The school has a high volume of children and the afterschool program could use staffing that would help the children with thier homework. Alot of times my child tells me there is not enough staff to help with the homework so she usually waits until she comes home to do it. Also some of the teachers are not so willing to hear the parents concerns in regards to learning disabilities. I have requested for the last two semester to have my child evaluated and the process is initially started but not completed. This year I plan to take this to the principle if nothing is done”

“Not nearly enough proactive communication from the school. The school has potential, but when it realizes it takes a joint 'team' effort from parents and teachers, and not just trying to find ways to hold parents accountable; it will make strides in its test scores.”
