Brookside is a wonderful elementary school. It has the feel of a private school with public school amenities. The teachers are great and are always working with the best interest of the children. Each class has teachers' assistants to help the children with their learning. When there is an event at Brookside, I don't think there is one parent not in attendance. The school is open to parents and grandparents visiting and many come and have lunch with the kids.

I have nothing but great things to say about MacArthur! Our experience has been positive-I know my children are receiving a terrific education! Parent involvement is encouraged, teachers Are professional, knowledgeable & show true concern and care for students and Mrs. McIver, the principal sets the tone for the building. It is one based on mutual respect and high expectations for all.

Our daughter went to St Johns from first thru the six grade. Many times her classes were at least a year ahead of the same classes her friends going to public school were taking. Class sizes were small, often half the size of public schools, enabling teachers to give more individual attention to each student, The work was rigorous but not overwhelming, and the atmosphere was a lot nicer than I remember public school ever being. And most importantly I believe going to St Johns helped lay the foundation for our daughters future educational endeavors by giving her not just a top notch education but by giving her all the great memories that came with those first school years. The talent contests, the poetry recital contests, the field trips and so much more. It was a great school.
