My daughter is 10 and in the fourth grade. Its her second year at the school and she really likes it. The staff and her teachers are very caring and attentive. I do have a few concerns though. I feel like the homework load isnt enough, and there arent any take home projects for the students. I feel that to prepare them for higher grades those types of things need to be happening.

Brookside is a joke the same work at Dollar Tree my 6 year old get for homework. Teachers are not certified to teach you have parents that never took a teaching class filling in for supposed to be teachers who call in. The supertindent is acting like the principal so what does the principal do? They need real administration an not some Google want a be teachers. Just because your in the inner city just dont make it look good on the outside put that money to good use by doing whats right on the inside meaning good teachers so Our Kids can learn.Not to knock it but most parents send they kids there because they can wear anything if you put uniforms in Brookside I guarantee school attendance will drop.

This school is a joke. Ive worked at many inner city schools over the last 10 years and it was pathetic. They will not be playing any more basketball games this year. Their athletic director was a joke and didnt know what he was doing. Their coaches were very disrespectful arrogant and HORRIBLE role models for the kids they were coaching. The parents were the worst Ive seen in the last 5 years. They need a metal detector and security in future years like a lot of the inner city schools for sporting events. This was the worst experience Ive had working in a long time and it all started with their head coach. He was very racist against white people and so were their parents. It was PATHETIC!

First review three years ago is scary. Glad we werent there at that time. Our son started attending Brookside in 1st grade (7 yrs old-2011) and we have had no problems thankfully. He is autistic and the staff and teacher have been wonderful. Ms. Snow is a God send. I love her so much. She puts her heart into those kids. Our daughter who stutters badly and refuses to talk. Shes quiet, shy and withdrawn started kindergarten in 2012 and flourished under Brooksides care. Ms Jefferson her teacher was amazing! Our last child will be starting kindergarten this year, 2013-2014 and we dont expect anything less than spectacular from the staff and teachers. We found teachers and staff easy to talk to, easy to reach, easy to meet with and so ready to work with any situations that might come up. The Principal is very hands on and always visible so if we ever needed to speak with him, it wasnt your typical search and find mission. Assistant Principal, the same thing. Right at the forefront, easily accessible and very personable. I appreciate how quickly they learn a childs name with so many kids. We get a great big smile and a hearty warm Good morning! as we come into the building and the same big smile with a Have a great night, see you tomorrow as we exit the building. What a terrific way to start school! Makes the kids feel special that they are really welcome and that people are glad to see them. This is a great school and would love to see them expand to High School grades. I see many positive things happening at Brookside that can only make them get better than they already are.

HORRIBLE! My son is now 13yrs old. He started brookside Charter in the Kindergarten. His speech was bad due to him needing ear tubes, I didnt know about these issues until he started school. I took him to a Speech Therapist twice a week, they said he was missing too much school, so I asked them to provide a speech therapist, they said no they dont have one, so I hired one to come to the school to give him therapy and the principal at Brookside told me she could not help my child, if she was not from the District..long story short they FLUNKED him and he did another year of Kindergarten although he was a normal learner he just could not hear and speak well. Never told me that his Attendance was how they got paid per child..I guess that was more important than a Therapist...

I went to this school for 3 whole years. The first year was okay and i actually enjoyed it but the last 2 years were horrible. I remember there was so much girl drama. the food was beyond terrible, one morning boys were smoking marijuana in the bathroom, kids would skip class, teachers would bully the students, and trouble surrounded that school. Parents I would not recommend you to send them to this terrible school its horrible and learning is not taken seriously at this school.

I love this school. Ive had my kids in this school for 5 years I now have 4 kids that attend this school I recommend ppl all the time to try this school

My daughter has been at brookside since 1st grade and now preparing for 4th..the school st least the teachers have encountered communicate effectively about my childs performance in her subjects..they are dedicated to helping the student understand their work, and help.them prepare for future tests by giving them weekly homework..I think its a pretty decent environment

My kids love the teachers and staff. This is a very good school.

Do you see a black and pink pug it is in the gym the school I go to is Hogan middle school and I think we come to your school today to play basketball.

I love it every one is a family member of the school i have been here since kindergarten

This school is it self has protentials but theres alot of bad apples within the school.Staff turn their and closed their eyes to all the things that parents or students complain about or concerned about.Mr.Offield doesnt take his job seriously, they always want to call home on the kids about things thats not worth the call .Kids always in support room , which is a water of money to have someone else doing what the teachers are to be doing.Kids dont learn nothing. Teachers dont want to help with work as if they are not sure of it.Its okay for the teachers o talk to and treat youre kids any way the want .Kids are deprived of learning , food and just respect. A lot of favoritism plays in the school. Kids of staff members who attends the school are treated better then others.Staff members who want to speak out and have a lot to say ant and or wont because they scared of losing position for speaking up.Communication is the worst ever.Nobody every knows anything about anything until you advise them.Kids are picked in by staff members kids or family members.Teachers making inappropriate comments and action towards the kids..Staff members out of control..Kids are left in a uncomfortable position.Parents ....Speak up, let you voice be heard...The school are speaking on Anti bullying and the school allows the kids to do so ...Spoke with the Board of Charter and I dont think they will be much help either..She gonna speak with Mr.Offield, for what Ive been doing this talking for years and they still dont hear your concerns.I feel this may have to be took viraul or to the News just to get resolution..Well who better then Problem Solvers....

I came to Brookside as a 7th grader and i continued my learning till 8th grade i feel like this school changed my mindset and put me on the winning track to succeed in life at first i didnt like it but now i wish i could go back and do it all over again mrs.Hallberg will be missed along with all the teaches from the 2014 till 2016 school years

My girls love their teachers...Great learning environment. Ms.Stover, Ms. Kruse and Ms.Pozec are awesome. The school shows genuine interest in the sucess of the kids.

I love Brookside Charter.This is my daughters 8th year attending this school..She has learned so much while attending.The staff really cares about the students.I love that that parents have to sign their kids out each day.That way you are able talk to your childs homeroom teacher about their progress or whatever as you pick them up.I always suggest Brookside Charter to parents who are looking for a school for their child(ren).

This is the best school ever this is my 4th year going here and ive grow acadimically like really

I hate brookside it had to much drama and the teachers was irra thats why I am going to Kauffman

A cool and come School
