Brookwood Forest Elementary School

amazing my kids have learned so much and are always exited to go.

This may be the best elementary school in the country. The teachers and staff are amazing, the pupils are amazing children, and the community spirit is like none I’ve ever seen. Living in Crestline is very expensive but it is worthwhile for my three children to enjoy being at Crestline.

We moved our kids into the school system from a private school. They made an easy transition, and I found the academics just as challenging. I did not grow up in Alabama, but everyone was very welcoming. A great sense of community- amazing teachers, counselors and administration

This is a wonderful school. Definitely a 10! As good as it gets. We moved here 6 years ago and have been at this school from Kindergarten thru 5th grade. Looking forward to attending the middle school. We also have a lot of parent involvement which makes a difference.

We have a fifth grader and kindergartner at Cahaba Heights and we love the school. The teachers are all amazing. Our fifth grader has been there since she was in kindergarten and we haven’t had a bad experience. Our youngest daughter actually had a small hole in her eardrum that affected her hearing and ultimately her ability to learn certain sounds and the school not only spotted it, but are actively correcting it with an on site specialist. I honestly feel like Cahaba Heights is a hidden gem. The community is awesome and convenient and the families are laid back and welcoming.

I have had nothing but great experiences with St Francis Xavier Catholic school! I was new to the area when I first came across this school and since being a part of the school community my family and I have felt so included and welcomed! My family and I are also members of the parish but have met many families that are not and have chosen to send their kids to school here as they have also experienced the community here and the invest the entire staff puts into each child and their education! The teachers here work hard with each student to challenge them in their academics while also building up the whole person. I was met with honesty and clarity when I brought forth an issue I was seeing with my child, meeting with both the principal and teacher. I felt very supported and heard leaving that meeting, walking away with the comfort that the staff wanted what was best for my child and for my family and that they were willing to work with us to do that. I can not recommend this school enough!

It is an outstanding school with phenomenal academics! The faculty and staff are very caring, and it is evident that they want to develop the whole child. Critical thinking skills and communication skills are developed.
