Brookshire Elementary School

I had a very unpleasant experience today while picking up my granddaughter. As someone was leaving, I stood by the door waiting — I didn’t try to push my way in or anything. I was simply waiting politely to see if I could enter.Then a staff member suddenly spoke to me in a rude tone, saying I had to “wait for the buzz,” and even tried to close the door. I understand there are safety rules, but there was no reason to speak to me that way. I was just standing there, not doing anything wrong.I hope the staff can treat parents and grandparents with more kindness and respect in the future.

love itt so much i totally recommend it

The school does not support children if they are getting bullied. Do not send your children here. If something happens, they do not correct the situation. They don’t punish bullying. They don’t punish the kids responsible and hold them accountable for their behaviors. Some teachers don’t get back to you if you need to talk to them about how your child is doing or if you need to find out what they’re doing in class to help them at home. They also don’t always give them the assignments that he missed if they are absent. The school seems pleasant at first on the surface, But they don’t get back to you if you need to speak to them, especially assistant principal and principal. They only care about using their school for perks in the city whether it’s for restaurants or treating their stuff to things they don’t care about the students. There are a handful that do care, but not enough.

Worst school. Better off sending kids to public school

Having been part of the St. Margaret Mary Catholic School community for over eight years, we’ve grown to admire the leadership and dedication to student education. Nonetheless, we believe there's an opportunity for the school to enhance its offerings, particularly in modernizing and expanding extracurricular activities, clubs, upper class electives, and focus areas such as STEM, to meet a broader range of student needs and interests.My observation over the years is that students who fit the traditional academic mold tend to thrive here. However, I've noticed that students with unique learning needs or those who significantly outpace grade-level expectations may not receive the support or enrichment they require, especially in grades 6 through 8. While elementary students with learning challenges receive attention, this support appears to taper off in later grades, often limited to additional math instruction.Similarly, while the RISE STEM program for fourth graders and above is commendable, its limited availability (only two hours per week) and the absence of other STEM-related clubs for elementary students seem like missed opportunities for children eager to explore and excel in these fields.I believe that expanding support services for students with learning challenges, along with introducing more advanced learning opportunities and extracurricular activities, could significantly enhance the educational experience for all students, not just those "cookie cutter" students who fit the conventional academic profile.Enhancing the school's offerings would not only support students across the academic spectrum but also align with the school's commitment to fostering a rigorous and inclusive educational environment.
