There is an amazing view of the downtown skyline from the track and it's right next to the river. What a neat place for a high school. The track is standard and enough surrounding light at night that you can see where you're going. Ample parking along the street and parking lot so it's all very convenient.

The tennis courts are all in great condition and include a nice wall area with half courts behind it for individual practice. The courts are popular after work hours, but there is an hour limit on play if there is a line of other players waiting. They can also be reserved in advance for private events or tournaments. My one complaint about the track and courts is that there aren't waterfountains or restrooms that are easily accessible. The johnson creek restrooms under the mopac bridge are close but still a bit of a walk. Be sure to bring plenty of your own water during the summer.

I was new to subbing last semester and she has this nasty attitude and had the expectations that I would know the guest educator system. Each school runs a little differently, surprise.

Fix your attitude or find another place to work cause it's unprofessional. I will not be subbing at this location from here on out.

Both have made National Honor Society, received recognition in extra-curricular activities, and are taking college level courses. This is culture at Brentwood, to work hard and push past personal limitations. They are being prepared for college and life but still are allowed to be kids and have fun. I have my kids here for 3 reasons: 1) the academic expectations are substantially higher than most public schools and many private schools so being taught at levels well beyond the standard will set them up for success in whatever they choose to do, 2) they can participate in any extra-curricular activities they want to be in, 3) it is a Christian school, meaning the moral and ethical standards they are held to are high. The community is great as well which makes it even better for parents and students. Is it perfect? No, but if you want the best for your kids, academically, spiritually and help them grow to be strong minded adults who add to society this is a place for them. Brentwood students compete and win at high levels in state competitions for academics, arts, sports, etc. Tuition is less than many other private schools yet they are still at or near the top in academic ratings and categories. It has been a great investment in our kids.

It is not an…read morealternative education facility within the Round Rock Independent School District, designed to provide support to students who need a more structured or specialized environment. This center plays an integral role in the student's educational ecosystem. RROC provides support to students who may be facing academic, behavioral, or personal challenges. RROC allows students to have a second chance at academic success through targeted instruction and support. RROC is a part of the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program, however, it is not punitive but constructive. These students get to start with a clean slate and reimagine their academic success. We were very thankful to use the RROC facility for our retreat. We also donated school uniforms to RROC. The purpose of our sorority's retreat is to reflect on the first half of the year, lessons learned and edits for the second half of the year. We also are reviewing programs for the second half of the year and associated milestones and metrics. The retreat consists of a Kickoff with Welcome & Icebreaker. Next there was a community conversation with RROC leader and instructions how we could help RROC through community service. The morning was consumed with workshops ranging from mental wellness and fitness to career transitions and networking. Our sorority had a working lunch where highlights included cluster and leadership updates and retreat wrap up. All in all, it was a very productive day to learn more details about RROC and to conduct sorority business. It also was a great opportunity to bond with my sorority sisters. I always look forward to our annual retreats.

All the seats are good with a good view from the reserved seats to general admission seats! We sat in both areas. The stadium is kept up and clean. All the staff there are friendly and super helpful.

The concession area was great, they kept the lines moving, everything was good, from the hot dogs to popcorn, to pretzels! Ice cold beer and soft drinks! My husband bought me the UT yeti cup with a cold beer! Not a bad deal for $39.99. We enjoyed all the softball games this weekend eventhough it was hot, there was a nice breeze. We were able to get a perfect spot to park on the street by the stadium. But there are plenty of places to park. We will be back for more softball!!

We absolutely love Kirby Hall. It has been a great fit for our child, who transferred from a strong…read morepublic school that wasn't able to meet his needs academically. He came in passionate about math, art, and sports and in the time he's been at Kirby, he's grown to love history, Spanish, and drama. He's developed deeper skills as a writer and his passion for reading and discussing diverse books has expanded tremendously. His classmates are academically curious and creative: they have the opportunity to write, perform, and build for the stage each semester. Their grade-level performance yesterday was incredibly funny and sweet, definitely exceeded my expectations! Overall, Kirby Hall is academically rigorous and welcoming, the teachers and staff are kind, accessible, and open, and the athletics are inclusive, positive, competitive, and well-run by the excellent PE teacher. The teachers and staff know each child so well and work hard to bring out the best in each-- and they chat easily with parents in the hall after school. The education has inquiry-based components, and they take multiple field trips each semester. The academic offerings for upper grades are constantly evolving as they are building a thoughtful and unique middle school. Most faculty have advanced degrees. I can't imagine a better education. I'd recommend Kirby Hall to anyone looking for a well-rounded, rigorous, inspiring education for their child.

This is a direct quote from my son will doing his reading homework recently. This is the type of school experience we as parents were hopeful for, that our son would love school and enjoy his "job" as a child of learning, growing and socializing. I have never seen a school environment where the kids literally run inside in excitement to begin the day at 8:10 I may add, and have such agency and confidence walking inside. It's gratifying to see how staff support and teach kids in ways that I was petrified of or suffered through myself in school. They're on stage in front of the whole school, they make presentations to their class, they have advisory to ask for help, they are learning to read music; I didn't learn a lot of this until after college! Everyone enjoys being there and supporting one another. It's a relaxing and engaging place to be. It's only our first year and we can't believe the difference.
