I love that the teachers love my kids. It is hard not to love them (totally bias of course) they work their tails off doing homework and getting good grades. I love that the teachers are computer savvy and they respond in a 95% to my requests and my E-mails. But most of all I love that being such a stinky parent myself, and so darn picky, and demand excellence, the Principal has such patience, and always has a beautiful smile on his face. He is very open and helpful. Always, always open to my demands, and to give me his time. I wish I can participate more in the school, but I think my kids appreciate the independence, and feel embarrassed because I am too friendly (they say, of course I do not think so) Homework is of a good size, but again so is life. Thank you for being supportive BH.
I think Bret Harte is a wonderful school that get great test scores and anyone who is going/went to bret harte is going to love it. All the teachers and staff are VERY friendly and helpful!
Bret Harte is the best middle school in San Jose. Teachers and administrators truely believe in the importance of eduction. The parents in the community are also very proactive in their childs eduction.
Good range of electives. Some teachers are not very available to their students in need of help as they are too busy after school and lunch time is just too short to eat, take a breather & get needed help. It is difficult to get on a sports team as some coaches seem to have pre-picked their team ahead of tryouts, despite their welcome to you at sports night - very disappointing! The principal is a man of many words, but little or no action. Never had a class schedule correct the first time and when the school fails to provide prior written notice, there is no corrective action by the school to amend their errors. Students take the brunt of a diminishing self-concept. Crossing guards are wonderful. Most office staff has been very accommodating. Do wish they'd smile more. :-)
