It was unbelievable and really sad. So glad we avoided a place like this.

I didn't know about Brownell Talbot Prep until recently. I made a visit to watch their swim team…read moretrain during an evening session. While walking through their campus, I was impressed with the look of a mini college layout. Their swim facilities are clean and forehead temperatures are taken before you are allowed to enter their building. Parking is challenging when parents are picking up or dropping off students. I've been raised on public school educational offerings and understand why this institution has been around since the late 1800's and why parents would consider this college preparatory school over public school education in Omaha, regardless of annual tuition costs.

I don't remember a principal being part of the PTA in the past but maybe that's normal. She is also seen in the morning during student drop off. I have seen her sit at the front desk and she has answered the phone when I have called the school during the lunch hour. There is a STEM program for the older kids and a music program with a concert for all grade levels at different times throughout the year. The class sizes are decent for a public school.

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.
