Brookfield Elementary School

I’ve been really disappointed with this school. Many of the teachers don't seem to genuinely care about the students, and they don’t communicate well with parents. Concerns are often ignored or brushed aside, which leaves families feeling unsupported. Schools should keep parents informed and care about each child’s growth, but that hasn’t been my experience here.

Since the COVID outbreak, the quality of education in this school as been lacking. The teachers are more motivated to just teach the curriculum generally, and there is not enough homework assignments and projects handed out. The school used to be better. You really need to supplement your child's education with other external classes in order to really catch up with the actual curriculum. The AAP teacher here is also not very helpful and Fairfax County AAP and Advanced Placement curriculum is very confusing and keeps changing all the time.

It's a lovely school. Students are treated quite well. I am amazed at how sporty the Ms. Durso is. She is such a role model for all students. Teachers are welcoming, supportive. Heaven for Asian students due to school's inclusive culture.

This school is really great and would recommend it. The teachers are very supportive and fun, I had a lot of fun in my years and hope people join and experience it too.

Poplar Tree is a wonderful school! It’s motto “We All Belong Here” rings true as it’s a place that celebrates its diverse population by making everyone feel that they are a part of the team. Both my son and daughter have had fabulous experiences during their elementary career. It’s no surprise teachers rarely leave…and some that do leave often come back! Anyone would be lucky to have their child learn at Poplar Tree!

This school honestly should have a standing ovation on how well they can act then break character the second the visitors or parents leave. There is I kid you not ONE whole hallway in the middle school side. The air conditioner breaks every other week, the classrooms smell like things that SHOULD NOT be used in the classroom has been used, there is one decent teacher, and the principal, goodness, who even hired him? Don't be fooled because it's a Catholic school, they lack firmly teaching their students virtue and the bullying is barely under control. One quick social media search and there are DOZENS of hateful pages UNDER the schools name. The entirety of this schools existence is downright shameful and can be considered a mockery. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE!
