Would actually give no stars but not an option. This school has not changed in years. Staff would rather "LABEL" a child with a disability than to do there job of recommending a Child Find for an IEP or 504-plan. Punishments for behavior should be equal across the board-not here. I wouldn't recommend Brookland to anyone if they care about their child's education. We will definitely will be moving before the next school year. I refuse to have another child of mine waste away from uncaring and incompetent staff.
