Brooklyn Park Elementary School

The current principal is in no way qualified to oversee any child who struggles with a learning disability. There are numerous instances of open discrimination, deprivation of valuable classroom time, zero accountability, and consistent victim blaming. There is an outright refusal to acknowledge the adults in the school set the tone for kids who simply learn differently, instead choosing to engage in a years long power struggle over the need to be right, rather than the need to advocate for all children and their right to a fair and equitable educational experience. I have 2 other children enrolled who do not have those challenges and they have, thus far, had a good experience there.

This school has no structure, you're child will dislike going school and the bullying is terrible.

I cannot say enough good things about OES! The teachers and staff from the front desk to the custodians are amazing! My son is in Kindergarten and I was hesitant to send him to public school as I am a product of private schools. We sent our son to a local catholic school for PreK and my son has some challenges (ADHD) and that school was unwilling and honestly ill equipped to provide him the support he needs to thrive in his learning environment. Overlook is the exact opposite. The student success coach and teacher were in contact with me before classes even started in the fall and we were able to get him a 504 plan in place before Christmas break. My son is thriving there and I couldn't be happier. I wish more families would get involved in the PTA but other than that we are having an amazing time at OES! Thank you all for everything you do for our kiddos!

This school is no good the teachers are from Brooklyn so how good is that , my daughter went to summer school and the bus dropped her off in a neighborhood she is not from and a stranger picked her up ! The front desk none of the incompetent people there know there job ! At all

Is the best school for kids and the learning is good thanks to them my kid he has been better in math and reading too

This is the second year for my child at this school, and will be the last. The school main objective doesn’t move me as a school that wants the children to pursue successful goals or ambitions far as learning. As I stated previously the homework is nothing more than the same every week, I honestly feel that this school is in need of a drastic change. The statistics clearly shows elementary schools in the radius of less than 4miles doing drastically better. I understand it’s on the parents as much as it’s on the teachers so I’m not condemning the teachers. I’m just unpleased with the fact this school is rated 2/10 and could be doing so much better.

My daughters have had great teachers. They like joining on different activities that the school does.It is very appreciated and I’m thankful that the school is very thoughtful of having both english and Spanish translations for announcements. It shows they care about letting parents know what’s happening and think about those that may not know English.
