I went to this school years ago at this point and I still have memories. With going there for 6 years and now being in high school, I can see that I've learned so much here. The staff was always nice and understood our age and tried working with us.

We love the school so far. Teachers are amazing and the principal makes sure kids have been taking a good care of. Security is on point.

First grade was the only one my son had no homework. Because of having hard time understanding material, he is bilingual, I had requested additional work to be send at home with him and his teacher was making sure he will get materials to work at home so he can get some extra practice.

My son has always been very shy and hard to communicate with. His teachers have been very patient and understanding with him and always make him feels comfortable in class.

We just left first grade orientation and my son raised his hand to get his teachers attention and waited with his hand raised for over 6 min just so he could ask to go to the bathroom. That tells me if I wasn't there what would she do.

Brookwood has been a wonderful school for both of my children. The staff works hard to make sure the children are in a safe and enjoyable environment. The principal is involved and courteous with parent requests and I always see him out interacting with the students and parents during school and at after school functions. Brookwood teachers have always been helpful and supportive with IEP needs for my youngest child. My children enjoy learning at Brookwood.

My children have been attending Brookwood since 2009. My kids and I love it! This school has some of the greatest teachers, office staff, and janitors! I love it so much, I hold my Girl Scout meetings there as well. I am so glad I have teachers that care about my kids and their education, pushing them to be the best and work at their full potential!

I give this school an A++++. My children have been attending this school for 4 years and I have never had a single issue with any teachers or administration. The principal makes his self available to parents and addresses any concerns right away. We are being transferred to Maryland (military) in January 2012 and my children are so devastated they must leave Brookwood. If you are moving to the area, I would completely recommend you finding a home in this school jurisdiction!

I loved this school as much as my kids did. It was very hard to change due to moving. The kids were great and the staff was amazing INCLUDING the office staff. They were very friendly in person and on the phone. We are going to miss Brookwood terribly.
