    MORE MOLDY GRAPES.
    Vee

    I got moldy grapes at lunch and I swear I ate one I'm going to throw up. This school has a problem with not listening to their students and serving disgusting food. All the deans and administrators are rude to POC and pick and choose who they dress code when there's worse. This school sucks and there's so many rude and disrespectful teachers. This school provokes their students and is horrible. 0/10.

    This is the outfit my daughter wore to school on the last day of school.

    Is this school is absolutely the worst the principle make policy that doesn't align with the real world..on the very last day 5-23-2025-My daughter wore a gray sweat suit that can be seen in the camera that she was wearing all school year around..Some of the other girls were getting dress coded in the hallway by who ever when my daughter was walking out her class to go to the auditorium to practice her graduation ceremony and to get her cap and gown the teacher called her over with the group of girls and said that she's dress code it So my daughter said how I wore this outfit of school year around I'm not out of dress code The teacher gets mad and sends my daughter to the office and they suspended her for 3 days and tell her that she might not graduate until I come to a meeting.. me knowing how important it is for black kids to graduate high school I take it very serious so I left work and was there in 45 min.. The assistant principal refuses to meet with me because it wasn't a convenient time for her and scheduled a meeting on my most important days of work.. This is so unfair just because you're white doesn't make you right... It's so unfair that students can work hard all year round and because you tell a teacher she was wrong she has the right to suspend you and threaten you with not graduating.. So now I have a meeting on 5-27-25 making it inconvenience for me now so I can make sure my daughter will graduate because it's already hard enough for African American students get ahead without going through all of the unnecessary obstacles...

    Looks like a great high school, after few weeks I decided to move somewhere near the school zone cause my daughter deserves a good school, I hope she gets the best of this school with her, i was there this past Monday for the students orientation and presentation of the new school year, I wish everyone there the best as parent God bless every single one of the kids in there !! Location just 10 minutes off the strip, between rainbow and russel, very well maintained and clean!! Good Area .

When you identify a problem...like having kids go inside their underwear waist...searching kids..no safety in this.. females doing searches on males..with no male present.. teachers having melt downs in their classrooms taking it out on children thru retaliation in grades,emails which are toxic coming from educators...The unfortunate thing is this school operates in dysfunction total chaos. Unable to articulate their own handbook..everything that looks gold ain't gold. A hall aide told me to shush when I was going to speak up about their outrageous unclear rules and directions. I paused and said to myself be quiet in astonishment...absolutely Not! I will call out every wrong intent or action. Nevertheless the uniform is the only nice thing. Its can be expensive for some. It doesn't actually match the school academics/substance. Parents save yourself the hassle and kids find a school that practice what they preach. Which have qualified teachers and administrators. Anyone can open a school...and not be an educator. I disapprove of this charter school 100%

Don't make someone leave the line to go get back in the drive line which is now out to the street. Ridiculous.

My daughter started at Brilliant Mont in preschool and grew beautifully through the years, wrapped in care, encouragement, and excellence. Every teacher she had played a role in shaping her, but it was Ms. Melissa in kindergarten who truly left a mark. The bond they built was so special. She showed up during a season when life wasn't easy. Her love and patience got us through a difficult time--we're forever grateful. She didn't just teach my daughter; she covered her in peace and gave her joy when things were uncertain. That's a gift you can't put a price on. From the ladies at the front desk to Mr. Alex at security--everyone at Brilliant Mont treats you like family. And I don't say that lightly. The love is real, the community is strong, and the environment is anointed. You feel safe, seen, and supported from day one. We're heartbroken to go, but so thankful to have been part of this amazing community. If you're considering a place where your child can grow not just academically but emotionally and spiritually too--this is the one. Brilliant Mont isn't just a school--it's a village. And for us, it'll always feel like home.

    My three children attend Calvary Chapel Christian School. We enrolled them at the beginning of the…read moreprevious school year. I have a high schooler, middle schooler, and elementary schooler. We are happy with the school and staff. Coming from the over-crowded, over-stretched public school system, we are relieved to see our children accepted and not just doing well, but thriving. The upper campus kids especially love the block scheduling, as they are able to truly get some valuable class time in each subject. The homework is a perfect blend of rehashing the days learning and getting prepared for the exams. The teachers actually get to know the kids since class size is never a problem. My 4th grader loves his teacher, and with that comes respect and a desire to be the best student he can become. And being a Christian school, the true focus is on a rounded and grounded Cristian education. As with all schools, there are mistakes that have been made, and there are the occasional small problem. But the difference is that the staff and leadership truly will try to correct them. A parent is always welcome to speak with any of the staff, and the superintendent holds monthly meetings where anyone can come and voice concern or praise. What more could a parent want?

The teachers gave a bad education BESIDES Mrs. Lehman and Mrs. Palmer. But as it happened Palmer left Lehman became the principal BECAUSE the senior prank. Students absolutely trashed the campus ruined the flooring and best of all I couldn't even go to my science class, so I had to sit in the MPR for 40 minutes without explanation. Horrible education and best of all they got rid of the high school because everyone was leaving. DO NOT come here it is a waste of your money go to faith and spend the extra 7k trust me. I got a better education on an online school that TOOK LITERALLY 40 minutes to finish each day. This school is a joke; the kids are even worse. Behavior issues, flat out bullying and smoking in the restrooms. Not going to lie Mrs. Orrico also carried the school. Nicest Librarian ever but she deserves a pay raise. PLEASE do not send your kids here if you want them to have a good middle school experience.

They seem focused only on activities that benefit the school's ratings or attendance, yet they don't even hold a commencement or recognition ceremony for students moving on to high school. When you raise concerns, they often deflect blame onto CCSD, even though many other middle schools in the district do hold ceremonies to honor their students and celebrate their achievements. Just disorganized and poor leadership! Additionally, if your child has any absences, the school may escalate by contacting the school police to your home for missing absence notes, rather than simply reaching out to discuss the situation directly. Overall, this has been a very disappointing experience. I wish I had known more before enrolling my child here.

Because of this teacher, my son is now being told he cannot participate in graduation over a 0.5 credit issue that honestly feels personal at this point. What makes it even more concerning is that I have two children at this school, and both have experienced the same problems with this teacher. Is that just a coincidence? Las Vegas already struggles with the level of education being provided, and having teachers who take away a student's opportunity to walk at graduation something every teenager dreams about is truly disappointing and shameful. Parents should be very careful and stay involved, because from my experience, this school does not genuinely care about the students' future or success.
