GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Brookside is an amazing school with a hard working staff who truly cares. Reading some of the more recent reviews are disheartening. I am not discounting their experience, but I have seen the staff rise to every challenge with heart and dedication.
