I have had 2 children attend, and one is still at Brookside. Unfortunately Brookside maintains very average academic standards. Some teachers are excellent while others not so good. Their math program is below standard as evidenced by discussions with the 4th grade teachers who are the recipients of Brookside students. Those teachers have expressed to me and others confidentially of course that they are appalled by what is coming out of Brookside. Unfortunately most new 4th graders do not know their times tables at all and it s up to the 4th grade teacher to do remedial work. Hopefully this will improve.

honestly, the teachers are ok they judge you for you in the bathroom too long. being in there for 5 minutes and then getting yelled at for being in to long they don't do much about bulling

This school has a good reputation and my child and I feel safe at the location. It’s a small school so unfortunately their class selections are very limited and because of this it’s also a scheduling puzzle. I have noticed that instead of encouraging a student to reach higher they are dummied down and put in classes where they will get higher grades thus making the school look good yet the student was not admitted into a class that would have greatly benefited their education. The school will not put them in an AP or honors class if they don’t think they will get into the mid 90’s as a grade. Thus denying the child the option to take a class that could have been beneficial to them in their education and growth that they do qualify for. All of my child’s others schools would have never done this. If they qualified they would have been encouraged to take advanced classes. Instead here they are dummied down, which also does not help their confidence, especially at this sensitive crossroads (college bound) time. All to keep that average of the school up my child is being kept exactly that, average. It’s bull. Had been going on for the three years we have been here.
