Coming from Hawaii, trying to find a school for my daughter was pretty much traumatizing. Many…read morepeople have told me that schools in the Mainland are nothing like Hawaii, and I'm sure that is true, but still, I wanted to send my daughter to a private school. We looked and looked and looked. There were many schools that looked good, but their class sizes were so big with only one teacher I was concerned my daughter would get lost in the crowd and would not be able to get what she needs in education. I came across Brownell Talbot in my research and remembered that a few of my classmates from Creighton went there and they were super well rounded individuals, so, I made my husband take us to the open house :) At the school, we found out that their class sizes in the elementary were usually around 10-18 students with two teachers per class. They have a well rounded curriculum where they have everything like math, art, history, but they also learn French, and for PE they learn swimming! That's way more than I ever had in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten! Well, I finally ended up convincing my husband that we needed to send our daughter here! All the teachers she has had so far were amazing! They are so friendly and caring and definitely know how to teach young children. My daughter always comes home telling us all of the new things she has learned at this school! We love Brownell Talbot and as long as we live in the Omaha area, our daughter will go here.

But I'm still part of their community on social media and love being able to continually connect with past grads. I may be a little biased, but there is not better high school in the Omaha area. My 4 years here were INCREDIBLE. Amazing classes, teachers, students, and activities. I basically started my nonprofit career here whilst a student. I was able to volunteer and be a leader for many awesome opportunities and local nonprofits. And Mr. Baker fully cemented my commitment to politics and advocacy. I still have a massive collection of t-shirts from my years here - Spanish Club, after prom, class shirts, etc. Want to be prepared for college? Look no further. AP and honors classes galore. Want to do sports? Marian is the winning school with some of the best coaches. Want a sense of community and connections that'll last a lifetime? Oh that's definitely Marian. I still know the "Marian beat" by heart. And you've never seen a Field Day like what it is at Marian. Just going to Marian puts you in a special club with connections and friendships and community that last a lifetime. I tell everyone to go here. And I shall continue to do so. And oh my how the campus has grown and just gotten better! It's an absolutely stellar opportunity and experience.

I have been surprised at my child's abilities and understanding of subjects that such a little person is obviously capable of learning if given the opportunity. There is truly a positive learning environment for all the children and the staff is so helpful to their needs all week. I have only positive things to say about the Montessori program. They incorporate the parents into the program and we can stop by to see what is happening. There are also video and photo posts available to the family and that has been a fun addition to my child's experience there. Thank you Dundee Montessori for helping my child to succeed and congratulations on providing such an incredible program.

This is more of a review of their green space and outdoor rec equipment than of the actual school…read more Although I can say I did go here for Kindergarten, 1st and 3rd grades and had a good enough time as a lad (except that one time I had detention during recess on my 7th birthday -- that totally sucked). I come here nowadays because I live nearby and there's plenty of space for outdoor exercise. There're three levels to the property. At the top of the hill sits the school and new playground equipment. The second level offers a basketball court, more playground equipment for older kids, an adult exercise area, plus a baseball field. I'll often come here to shoot some hoops or throw some frisbees across the field if it's empty. When there are families and dog walkers taking up level two, the third level at the bottom of the hill offers an expansive field. There's a fence for the back of a baseball diamond, but the baseball field is pretty much abandoned. This is great for disc golf field work, sprints, etc. You'll see lots of folks letting their dogs run loose on this field as well. Room for improvement: For one, the basketball court is old. The hoops have been there since the '70s or '80s and are pretty crappy. It'd be nice to if they'd tear up the blacktop, level it out and put in some nice new baskets. Two, the fields on both the second and third levels do not get mowed very often in the summer, especially the third. This property is basically a school and a park in one, and makes up half of the namesake of the Metcalfe-Harrison neighborhood.
