Our experience at Brooke Grove was SUPERB! We were coming from another section of MoCo and were blown away by the teachers, the level of engagement, and the quality of teachers. What a FABULOUS community school!

I don't feel homework is challenging enough for students. Also, there's poor communication from the teacher on what's expected to be done for the homework.

I can't speak for all the teachers but my perspective is from the teacher our kid has experienced as of the writing of this review. There is no communication from the teacher about challenges or struggles a student might be experiencing except from report cards. Parents have no idea what our kid does at school until we receive report cards. Emails are not responded to in a timely manner. Often times I have to call the school to get communication across to the teacher.

They do promote compassion and respect in the school which is a plus.

Leadership seems to not fully understand the needs of ALL the students in this school. Principal doesn't like to be challenged, so it's her way or kick dust.
Leadership does a great job promoting character development like respect, compassion and integrity.
There is a lack of diversity in leadership and teachers, although the student body is very diverse. This reflects poorly on leadership as they do have a say in the hiring process.

In order to support students with learning differences, you have to understand what those differences are and hire experienced teachers and aids to meet those needs. In the past, the school had excellent teachers that had a lot of experience with various learning disabilities. Most of those teachers left the school, and unfortunately, the new teachers aren't as knowledgeable with learning differences thus they are unable to meet the needs of the students. I had to constantly give guidance to one of the teachers on aids and practices to help kids in her class since she didn't quite know what to do.

One of the things that attracted us to this school initially was the diversity and experience of the teachers, and diversity in the student body. Our initial experience with the school was great, teachers were amazing and communicated frequently. Unfortunately, most of the minority teachers & staff left the school due to poor leadership. The principal doesn't like being challenged, and so you are forced to either take it or leave it. Inclusivity is also lacking for students with disabilities in this school. There are various extracurricular activities and programs geared towards "Typical" students, which leave "atypical" students out. If you are white and part of the "in crowd" you'll fit right in to this school, however, if you are not you will probably struggle.
The student body is very diverse, the staff and teachers need to reflect the diversity of the school. My advise for leadership, LISTEN to your teachers AND parents. Understand the needs of the students as a whole and not just the privileged when making hiring decisions. Include key stakeholders in your decision making.

Yes, something I can select agree to. They do address this very well.

Unfortunately, I wanted to say great but it has not been the best. The way they involve the principal and asst. principal in everything, even an email about how your child is doing in unorthodox, the teachers are selective in who they give a pass to and did not notice this when our children started coming here but when I review scores, character, etc about this school, it is interested how when you look at race break down, the white students (the majority) is 10/10 while other races struggle. So all the white people at this school is stellar with testing while Blacks, Hispanics and Asians struggle. Why is that?

There is no real approach to homework, other than the normal. There is nothing unique or effective about their approach to homework

They are not necessarily effective in managing the classroom but are effective with the curriculum.

I think it depends on which student you are. I think some kids are given this message differently.

Posted: February 5, 2020

I am not sure about leadership. They are nice but effective???

Posted: February 5, 2020

I think they are creating learning differences for some students. They do support the disable students.

Very BAD, why the.... a teacher (a) would have a cup of coffee while in KISS & RIDE duety in the morning, this is Terrible and dangerous specially around little kids! If you insist on drinking your coffee, please stay a way, far a way from all the kids!

Brown bear ... what do you see?

My kid is learning things he/she learned 2 years ago

I am not sure what else a school can do to get a 10 other than test well on a state level. I have been extremely pleased with this school. I have two children attending and I love the community and the people as well as the overall commitment to involvement. From Science Share to Variety shows, classroom celebrations and the curriculum, I could not be more satisfied.

The principal is really involved and tries to attend personally to any problems the parents may have. The teachers are really good too and my son loves going to school. His performance has really gone up.
