Brookwood is a very welcoming neighborhood school where the teachers go out of their way to help students succeed. They have great learning experiences like their science garden where students get to plant seeds and watch them grow. This is a great place for kids.
This is my son's second year at this school and I would give just about anything to be able to have him in another school. He has been picked on and the staff does nothing about it. The environment is very negative and and the use of medication has been implied several times even though my son has never been diagnosed with ADHD and his intelligence is above normal with high scores in reading and math. I have tried to contact the principle about matters that violate my son's privacy as well as asking about changing teachers and she has never felt the need to even respond. I have tried to remain positive, volunteered in the classroom, etc. however I am left feeling like my taxes are going to pay for over populated classrooms where the teacher can't keep up and therefor recommend the kids be medicated.
'There are many fine teachers under poor administration at this school. Extracurricular activities are virtually nonexistent for the average student. There is poor communication between staff and parents. This school has discipline problems and lacks authority over students. The teachers at this school have no control or power to control their class rooms. In the times that I have volunteered I ve been disgusted by the fact that children are continuously wandering around the class room to the point of going in and out of the class room. I ve seen children come into class 30 min late because they were in the lunchroom having breakfast. The environment is disruptive to everyone and more so to kids with 'attention conditions'. At this pivotal time in a child's life, this school does not provide disciplinary guidance or a strong academic program. Do not send your child to this school.'
