Brookwood Elementary School

We love Gwinnett Oaks. The school is close to our home and the safety for walkers is great. My child has excelled in all subjects and had excellent socialization with other students. Issues were handled professionally and appropriately. The teachers are friendly and demonstrate a great attitude towards my kid. The PTA is very active. Love this school!

I wanted to share our experience because it might help other parents of advanced learners. When my daughter attended this school, I repeatedly asked about gifted testing because she was showing early reading and math skills far beyond grade level. I was told she wasn’t showing gifted ability because she was “having trouble adjusting.”After transferring schools, she was assessed and scored in the 99th percentile overall, performing above grade level in phonics, phonological awareness, and high-frequency words. These results confirmed exactly what I’d seen all along.A child can struggle to adjust and still be gifted. Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. I hope the school takes situations like this as a reminder to look deeper before dismissing a parent’s concerns — some kids just need understanding, not limits.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at this elementary school, and we couldn’t be happier with the environment it has provided for both of our children. Across grade levels, communication has been strong, expectations are clear, and the staff genuinely partners with families.It’s evident that the leadership and teachers work as a team to create a positive school culture. Our children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn each day, which speaks volumes.

Took my kids to this school and I went to this school yet both of my kids and me disliked this school. They also punished kids without proof. One of my kids got in trouble for defending himself from his bully.

would like to see improvement in this school
