Read what parents are saying about Brookside Elementary SchoolOur two sons went to Brookside. One is highly dyslexic and received wonderful support. Mrs. Fox 'saved his life'. The second son was your average good kid, good student. I found these kids in the middle received much less attention and support - too much so. Still good program that has set them up well for high school and university.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is outstanding. The children in our beautiful town are lucky to receive an education from dedicated teachers in a small friendly community. Safety and education a top priority for our town. I have had multiple students enrolled in this school. Each one received outstanding remarks when applying to private middle schools and high schools. I owe it all to the fantastic education received at Wandell. We are lucky to have this school in our amazing town!!!!!Other Review2y ago - Julia A. Traphagen Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have resided here for seven years, and based on my observations, it seems that the school principal maintains the "blue ribbon" status by transferring students in need of extra support to other schools. I have encountered numerous parents who have experienced this, and a significant portion of them appear to be from ethnic backgrounds. It's challenging to believe that a school in such an affluent area cannot allocate resources for paraprofessionals or bilingual teachers.I personally witnessed a family being informed that their daughter wouldn't be accepted because she had been taught her native language first. This raises concerns about the acceptability of such practices. Furthermore, my son was a victim of post-school bullying, and the principal focused on asking about my son's whereabouts during the incident rather than addressing the aggressor. This lack of follow-up and concern for the well-being of the bullied child is troubling.The nurse also appears inexperienced, as she downplayed a serious injury my son sustained, resulting in him being lethargic by the time I arrived. Another incident involving a parent's head injury after school was similarly mishandled, with the principal refusing to call an ambulance during dismissal. This lack of urgency and care reflects poorly on the school's administration.In my opinion, this exceptional school and its dedicated teachers deserve a more compassionate leader. I strongly believe that the current principal should step down and allow someone with better empathy to lead the school. The principal's focus on maintaining the "blue ribbon" status at the expense of individual student well-being and the disregard for concerned parents' input is disheartening. A more inclusive and compassionate approach is necessary to ensure the well-being and success of all students.Parent Review1mo ago - Hillside Elementary School
