Brookvale Elementary School

Student are encouraged to use their voice and get involved in forming clubs.

In my experience, students at this school feel unexcited about what they're learning. In my experience, teachers at this school are disrespectful, unsupportive, and demotivate their students to learn. In my experience, this school doesn't support students' mental health and emotional well-being. This school doesn't provide students with disabilities the support and accommodations they require. In my experience, this school provides an environment unsafe from violence, discrimination, and harsh punishment. In my experience, the school unwelcomes and excludes families as partners in their children's learning.

Our kids have grown so much since starting at FCS—academically, socially, and in confidence. What we love most is how loving and supportive the environment is. Every teacher truly cares and puts their heart into the kids, and you can feel it every day.The small class sizes make a huge difference, too. Our kids get more attention, more guidance, and more chances to be heard. They’re not just another face in the crowd.We also really appreciate how the school values art and music. Our kids have discovered new interests and feel proud of what they create.Even though it’s a Christian school, there’s absolutely no pressure. There’s one Bible class and chapel once a week, but that’s it. Plenty of their classmates aren’t Christian, and everyone feels welcome.Overall, we’re just grateful. Our kids are happy, growing, and surrounded by people who genuinely care about them. It’s been such a good fit for our family.

Both of our kids attended preschool at POP but did not continue with elementary. It was one of our biggest regrets to date. We returned in 2020 and our eldest has continued on to middle school and our 5th grader will follow suit.After being away from POP for 3 years and enrolled in the various public schools (due to address changes) here are the main reasons, we came back and will stay until middle school.#1: Christ-centered. This school is rooted in kindness, mercy and grace.#2: Education: The curriculum is challenging with advance math and offers a wide range of elective classes such as Spanish, art and music. Lower teacher-to- student ratios.#3: CommunityThe overall community here is an extended family unit. The staff/teachers are committed and dedicated to every student. The goal is for your child to succeed not to just get by. The parent community is very strong and shows up for their child and the school. The administration is always thinking of ways to improve for the better of the school/students not for profit or other motives.
