School review information
Brentwood Park Elementary is a solid, community-focused school that manages a rapidly growing, diverse student population with commendable academic consistency. While the recent reliance on portables due to neighborhood densification has been a pain point for families, the ongoing multi-million dollar expansion and seismic upgrade promise a modernized, safer, and more accommodating campus. The strong PAC and inclusive support systems make it a welcoming environment for newcomers and students of all abilities.
Editorial review summary
Publicly available parent reviews and community discussions highlight a highly engaged Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that actively funds school improvements, such as a wheelchair-accessible playground, and organizes regular hot lunch programs. Parents appreciate the diverse, inclusive environment and the dedicated staff. However, some community members have noted that rapid residential development in the Brentwood area has led to overcrowding, with the school relying heavily on portables in recent years. Fortunately, a $39.3 million seismic upgrade and expansion project is currently underway to add 165 new seats and a neighbourhood learning centre for childcare, which is expected to alleviate these capacity concerns.
Common positives
- Strong, consistent academic performance with a 5-year average Fraser Institute rating of 7.1.
- Highly active Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that supports school events, hot lunches, and facility upgrades.
- Inclusive environment with robust support for English Language Learners (40% of students) and special needs integration.
- Currently undergoing a major $39.3 million expansion and seismic upgrade to improve safety and add 165 new seats.
- New neighbourhood learning centre will provide convenient before and after-school care on-site.
Common concerns
- Significant overcrowding in recent years due to rapid local development, resulting in a heavy reliance on portable classrooms.
- Ongoing construction for the seismic upgrade and expansion may cause temporary disruptions to the school environment.
- High proportion of students requiring additional support (ELL and special needs) may stretch classroom resources.
Who this school may fit
This school is highly recommended for families moving to the North Burnaby/Brentwood area who value diversity, strong community involvement, and steady academics. Parents should be prepared for ongoing construction in the short term, but the long-term benefits of the new facilities and on-site childcare make it an excellent choice for elementary education.
