I'm fairly disappointed about some of the comments below, suggesting how awful it would be for their white children to attend a majority black school. (BMS is 33% African American, 29% White) Further proof we are not a "post-racial" society I guess. And for the record, black kids for decades have often been in situations where they are one of only a handful of kids of color in a predominantly white school. That was ok for kids of color, but not your white kid?Your child will not suffer by experiencing people different than him or her. It can only make your kids better people. So perhaps you should check your privilege and open up your mind a bit.My (white) son has been at Brooklyn Middle School for two years. He has had an EXCELLENT academic and life experience there. The teachers are always accessible and at the beginning of the year they provide their email addresses and encourage contact from parents. When I meet them for conferences, they are helpful and have great feedback about my child--strenghts and weaknesses. The teachers are engaged and enthusiastic about their job teaching you kid.The STEAM focus is fantastic and challenging and engaging. And it is giving every one of the students preparation for further pursuit of education and vocation in a STEM focused career. If any of you are rating this school without even visiting it or informing yourself about it simply on the basis of the diversity of the school body, you do the school, its teachers and its students a great disservice.

The technology department is getting more advanced. The teachers are all great. The staff are wonderful and get to know every child. I'm always surprised when I go in that they know me and my child by name. The administration/staff are very helpful and always make themselves available.

I am the Parent of two Park Center HS/ Osseo HS Grads. Both of my children went through OEC ( Oppertunities in Emerengency Care) in their Senior year. One of Park Centers greatest attributes is the Student body which in their homes speak over 40 different languishes and are from over 40 different Countries in a school focused on IB. This can cause issues but the Staff effectively deal with them. As a Parent and a person whom went through my 12 years of school in majority white schools, I am glad to have been a part of the school volunteering, Learning from Students/ Staff and they Learning from me as well.
