Overland Park Elementary School

My child has experienced racism, bullying, and retaliation from the principal and teachers at Brookridge. I have concerns regarding the principal's professionalism. My child reported new teachers yelling at students and physical misconduct towards students. It appears that if a parent expresses disagreement with the principal, she may inform her staff, leading to retaliation against the parent and child. Minority children seem to receive disparate treatment from the principal and staff. Although the school boasts diversity, the staff lacks representation of diversity. Lacks the educational support for students. These allegations warrant investigation and change.

very nice teachers, but the leadership such as the principals are questionable. two fights happened in one school year, and it took them almost a month and a half to find out. also, melissa green was very rude, and extremely nosy. the secretaries at the front desk were a 6/10, two of them were nice and the other two were rude and dismissive. teachers don't care about bullying until the victim fights back. wouldn't recommend as an amazing school, but it's not like you're gonna get jumped or anything. 3/5 rating.

What a great experience we’ve had over the first few months of kindergarten. How did the secretary and principal know our names on the very first day? No idea, but they did. And I know we weren’t the only ones. The teachers I’ve encountered have been so caring, kind, and professional. Mr. Pumphrey (principal), in particular has been extremely patient yet firm in dealing with some behavior issues. The facility is beautiful. The student body is reasonably diverse for the area we are in, and there’s an abundance of community engagement activities. The PTA is very active.
