Brooks Elementary School

This school has been such a gift to my son and to our family. He had a difficult experience at another school within JCPS, which led us to homeschool him for a time. We sent him back to public school in January, and it has been a much better experience for him and for me. Even before in person school resumed, I felt welcomed by his teacher. One day during NTI, the principal even drove out to our house to introduce himself and deliver a small surprise to my son. Since in person school has started back, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of outdoor time Coral Ridge has built into the day. Most days my son's class has gone outside twice! My son is enjoying school again, and I cannot begin to tell you how happy (and relieved) that makes me as his mom. Thank you, Coral Ridge for welcoming us!

Super nice and helpful staff. Amazing with all three of my children. Amazing seeing them grow and the things they tell me they have learned so quickly. Always something being brought home to demonstrate the progress and activities learned . sports activities are incredible. Would highly recommend this school to others.

I am truly heart broken being a single mom to a little boy. Being a mother is tough and being a mother who didn't have a mother growing up i cant explain how hard it is. wondering if im making the right choice doing the right thing.. with that being said a My son was in the 2nd grade 2021-2022 with Covid he missed a lot of 1st grade you really don't understand how important 1st grade is until you are hit in a situation like i am of course hes behind .at this point whos child is not i was contacted by his teacher asking my thoughts of holding my son back to redo the 2nd grade due to his reading.. When i asked if i could let the father of my child voice his option i was shot down. Needless to say i decided against it.. with the split classes my son coming out of a 1st/2nd grade split thinking that he would be in a 2nd/3rd split i thought for sure we could get my son where he needed to be with the upcoming year only to find out that because i didn't hold him back to repeat the 2nd grade .. they pushed him right on in to a all 3rd grade class no split class.. They tell me that they have the best intentions for my Child and I'm sorry to say that is a lie. I am beyond now worried about my son i I NOW feel like i have failed my Son.... its the worst the feeling in the world.. I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS IS OK.. HE MISSED ALL OF 1ST GRADE DUE TO COVID - HE WAS PLACED IN A 1ST/2ND GRADE SPLIT FOR 2ND GRADE.. SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY WOULD HE NOT BE PLACED IN A 2ND/3RD GRADE SPLIT IF YOU THOUGHT I SOULD HAVE HELD HIM BACK TO REDO THE 2ND GRADE.. i never been more let down in my life and they dont care

My son has went to this school, it is such a good school, teachers are so nice and kind and helpful. This school was the best
