Brownell Talbot Schools Reviews
Quality Score: 2 Post Date:2009-12-15
“If you are financially well off and are looking for a school for your child to associate with other 'well to do' children, then B-T is the school for you. While it does provide rigorous academics, the economic disparity is quite evident throughout the school. Parental involvement in the school is high, especially by those who are 'financially secure'. I have taken my child out of this school and not only do I not regret it, I have found the public schools offer just as good an education where students do not develop an attitude of entitlement.” This review was posted by a parent.

“Brownell-Talbot School is a magnificent institution with a great legacy and superb current offerings in academics, sports, arts, drama, speech, college placement and nearly everyhthing else. The faculty are - with few exceptions - exceedingly dedicated and interested in the total growth of their charges. The atmosphere is intimate in part due to the pretty campus and, especially, the small scale of the school. Brownell has a wonderful quality of genuine diversity that draws from its Episcopal heritage but now extends a warm to scores of religions and all races. The legacy is unique and impressive. Founded before Nebraska became a state it was ' ... to assure the daughters of the pioneers a standard of education as is available on the East Coast ...'. Indeed, if this school were located in an eastern city it would not only be nationally famous but wildly over-subscribed - not to mention far, far more!” This review was posted by a parent.

“I had a fantastic experience at BT. Whether it's sports, play productions, journalism, or art, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. The great thing about Brownell being so small is that students can be involved in anything they want. Nobody gets turned down for sports or activities, there is always space. The best part of going to BT was definitely that I felt completely prepared to apply for college. Starting College Counseling in eighth grade may seem excessive, but it definitely helps. By the time I started filling out college applications the summer before my senior year, I already had a fantastic college essay written that had been proofed by two different teachers. College Counseling allowed me to keep (most of) my sanity during a very hectic senior year. Making the switch to BT was the greatest decision of my life.” This review was posted by a student.

“Fantastic school in all respects. We have had children attending for the last 14 years. Students leave with a great foundation, all attend college, all receive scholarships, and many are accepted into Ivy League and very competitive colleges. All students have the opportunity to participate in sports , music, and academic extra-curricular activities. School has won state championships in Speech and Academic Decathlon.” This review was posted by a parent.

“This school is very good in the academics. Unfortunately some of their administration lacks the professionalism in social skills.” This review was posted by a other.
