As a military family and having traveled to many places my main concern is always how my children will adjust to the new school. I have to say that Brookwood was a true delight to my whole family. Such a warm and friendly environment for children to be a part of all day everyday. My son fell ill during

She helped in every way she could to continue my son's education while he was ill (not to mention she called our cell phones almost every day to see how he was doing). That is how much they care. We are about to move once again and I have to say, it will be a very sad day when we say goodbye to everyone at Brookwood! The music teacher is the best! Read less

I went to Brookwood when I was in third grade. I am now a sophomore in college, but I remember my teachers, Mrs. Spiers and Mrs. Eubanks fondly. They were always there for me, willing to help.

My son went to Brookwood for one school year, 2001-2002. He was in Miss Speir's third grade. This was the best teacher and best school he's attended so far (he's in fifth now). Their reading program is excellent, and there were few discipline issues within my son's class. My son is ADHD, and their

This left the classroom eager and ready to learn. My son excelled in this school, where he was considered a 'discipline problem' in others. We are military, so we move a lot, and I wish that every school was as great as Brookwood! If we ever have a choice of military assignments, we'd definitely move back to the Brookwood Elementary school district! Read less
