Brookside High School

This is one of the most terrible places you can send a child that requires special treatment...the students get a 1/2 hour lunch break, and the teachers get an hour....so it was too hard for them to figure out a way to keep my child indoors during recess....simply because they were not going to be able to sacrifice a 1/2 hour of thier lunch period for my sons health...my son has cold weather asthma, I had 3 doctor's notes faxed to them and each time they gave me another reason why that note was not to thier standards. My son went to a different school for k-1 and we didn't have any problems keeping him inside for recess when it was lower than 60 degrees...but for some reason this school did?? Is your lunch hour more important to you than my sons health, and if it is why are you a teacher, a principal or a school nurse?? Why did you choose a proffession that demands responsibility for children? I am simply discusted with this school, I think it's discaceful that they have a four star rating....and I have no doubts as to what my child potential is, however I have serious doubts about this schools potential!!

That is so strange. My child goes to Larkmoor and had told me a few times about not being able to eat lunch and missing recess because of missing school because she was sick. And I watched with my own eye's a teaching grabbing a child my their clothing and yelling at them for trying to jog past a group of kid's who was making fun of him. It broke my heart when my daughter told me that the she was getting picked on and the teacher calling her a baby all on the same day. Needless to say as a parent there was nothing that could be done. No one in the office cares and the secretary is very mean. We do plan on switching schools next year because of that. It's a shame I am not the only one who is going through this.

This school allowed someone who was not allowed to take my daughter out of school before the day was done. I am never taking her to this institution

School looks for certain types of kids and doesn’t understand basic childhood development. Punishes children for typical developmentally appropriate behavior and induces unnecessary anxiety in parents.
