I have never seen a school in MCPS who cares about their students quite like Brookhaven ES. I wish I could have my son stay here but sadly, he is in 5th grade this year. I highly recommend this school because they care about their students not only academically, but also, emotionally. I will never forget one time, I have received a phone call from one of the teacher telling me how my son was acting different about two days in a row. And I know my son is a very active and positive child. So I went to talk to him and he shared what was bothering him and I gave him my advise and since then I felt more connected to him at his age. I knew then, I wasn’t absent on that stage of his life. And I thank them because they are very involved with the students and parents. I love this school, I have way too many stories why this is a perfect school to get your child start up with. Go bobcats!

This is a school I recommend enrolling in as it has nice staff, good classes, and an overall good school. The only thing though is that I see ppl get bullied sometimes and ppl use inappropriate jokes but yeah it’s a good school so I recommend enrolling in

It is shame to observe what appears to be a lack of support or protection for staff members working with children with disabilities. There seems to be insufficient oversight and enforcement of policies designed to maintain a safe working environment for employees.Staff members are exposed to behaviors such as hair pulling, scratching, having water thrown on them, and other inappropriate actions. While there is an understanding of the unique challenges present for children with special needs. However; there should be a system put in place such as suspension or expulsion if necessary for continuous troubled acts from specific students. It is particularly disheartening to see the direction the organization has taken since the departure of Dr. Mugee, there appeared to be a stronger commitment to maintaining a safe environment for both staff and students.
