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.

This is one of the most horrid schools I’ve ever been to in my entire life. The violence was horrendous, over 100 fights my 8th grade year with no accountability for the students causing the fights! The administration doesn’t enforce rules and even expects the students to engage in fighting. DO NOT...
