Fantastic. Both of my grandchildren have attended since they started school and now one is in the 5th grade and the other has gone on to Brookwood Middle School, and she loves it there.

Terrible, children, parents and teachers are having to work in a hostile environment. Would not recommend.

Teachers lack patience with children and instead of working to correct/communicate real time issues with parents, they expect for the child to just get better because of an assigned number at the end of their day. We chose this school district when moving to Alabama because we heard only positive things. Our child was an honor roll student at their last school and was also in gifted classes. There were never any issues with his behavior. This school treats him like he is a delinquent. He has gone from being excited for school daily to begging to move back to his other school every morning. If you are considering the purchase of a home in this area to get the best education for your child, look elsewhere.

I think Brookwood Elementary is highly underrated! My daughter just completed 2nd grade there, and in the 3 years she has gone there, we have yet to be disappointed by anything. My daughter is thriving, and exceeding state levels in many areas. School is on a constant communication effort to keep parents informed, and involved. Principal is great, and knows all the kids, and parents by name.

I have two children that attend Brookwood Elementary. The school is good and has a caring staff. They have great technology, music, computer and art classes. The teachers and principal are always holding meetings to keep parents involved and aware. My children have both excelled at the state tests because of the wonderful job the staff has done. The school strives to provide the best education within the best environment for the children!! I would recommend it to anyone!!

Brookwood Elementary School is the worse school there is. My son was bullied all year and the teacher did nothing and when I went to the principal she did nothing. I would rather pay the extra money for a private school or move to the Vance district. They don't care and are there just to get their paychecks. The school is so unorganized. Very unhappy parent.
