Brookland Park

I have two children attending J.E.B. Stuart Elementary School and they are thriving. Principal Moore is on the ball and she has a staff of loving, dedicated people who make me feel confident that my children are in good hands every day. THe teachers my children have experienced have been incredibly hard working , flexible and supportive and have been professional examples for the children to model and provided high bars and standards for my children to reach. It's a jewel in the rough really and I'm glad the kids are there. I have seen a great transformation in the school - the administration is creating more programs to engage the kids. My children come home raving about the "store" from which they can purchase small trinkets after excellent behavior or achievement. They have been excited about the field trips and activities from chess club to mind games and the SPACE program. DOn't judge the school by the neighborhood or the outside. The real jewel is in the inside - the teachers, staff and the gorgeous brains in some kids who may not have a fighting chance otherwise. It's a good school to check out. Take it from a picky, involved parent.
