Posted by a parent on 9/11/2021First impression is everything. Brook may be a great school but the office staff is horrible. I'm sure it's not everyone, I would give you a name but she was so rude before I could ask she said "BYE!" And hung up the phone. Please reinforce professionalism with the office staff at Overbrook.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnfortunately the school is suffering from an over emphasis on discipline. Bullying was a major problem when my kids attended. The teachers ignored it and so did the pastor. I took my kids out of the school and now they are thriving at St. Ignatius 44th Lancaster.Parent Review14y ago - Woodbine Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf your considering this school don't waist your time. Dont settle. Very under staffed teacher splitting time between two grades not enough quality time given to children. Everything about this school is dated from the curriculum, textbooks to the building which is falling apart. STEM/STEAM forget it . Your child will not get a well rounded education. No science, No Art, No real quality computer time No spanish/french etc. Your child will not have full enriching experiences that other schools offer. Parents input definitely not encouraged.Parent Review6y ago - Ijoba Shule
