Brookside Elementary School

Brookside has been a wonderful experience for my two children. The teacher have made an extra effort to help them succeed with their learning. The teachers and administrators have been very helpful when one of my children experienced bulling. The situation was not taken lightly and was constantly monitored. There is great communication between administers, teachers and parents. I know the school is only rated a 6, but I would recommend it to anyone. The only concern is that starting in 3rd grade most home work is done on chrome book. This can cause overload to students when have to summarize their reading, type and spell all at the same time. I feel the students can also use the computers at a crutch to spell.

I have two kids that attend Brookside. Although they seem to be a good school and push the kids to do their best, there is a lot vocus on their volunteers. They will side with volunteers over parents. A volunteer signed a permission slip for my son to leave the campus on a field trip I didn't know existed. When this was addressed with the district nothing was done to rectify this situation. The teachers have taken sides in my family law case even though I have specifically ask for them to stay out of it and only teach my children.

Great school and teachers. I am impressed with how the principal, Dr.Borsaw, has implemented new ideas making my childs school fun and exciting.

Being at Brookside has surpassed my expectations. At our previous school it was very difficult to ask for any assistance for my daughter. Coming to Brookside my child s teachers immediately saw her struggles and began a development plan to assist her in all her academics. The Principal is very enthusiastic and always looking into ways to make the school a better place for all students by listening to the parents concerns and suggestions.
