At the heart of the Brentwood and Crestview neighborhoods, Brentwood Elementary is one of the best kept secrets in Austin.  Brentwood was built in 1951 and hasn't changed much since then.  The classrooms are quaint, the teachers are friendly and communicative, and the administration is extremely pleasant to work with!

We love Brentwood for their commitment to building community both in and outside of the classrooms.  The emphasis on lifeskills (like integrity, honesty, courage, etc) and the Tribes curriculum have spilled over into our daily home life.  I catch my kids saying, "Mom, thanks for displaying the lifeskill of friendship by making macaroni for lunch!"  Sounds dorky, but it has worked for us!

We also love Brentwood's diversity, both economic and racial, and the extra mile that the teachers and staff put it to build bridges across the divide.

We're proud to say that our kids will attend through the 2020's (damn, we're gonna be old)....
