Brooks School
My six yr old grandson is a first grader who was diagnosed with dyslexia and is being bullied verbally in the classroom. He is extremely bright otherwise but for this to occur to him, I find dispicable. I would recommend your school to everyone to attend and would always vote for teacher pay raises because in todays world teachers have a very difficult time finding time to teach due to behaviorl problems. It's hard!!! It is also sad for the bullier because something, I personaly believe, is causing them to do this. Thank you very much for listening to me and trying to address the problem.

Brooks School
I have two children who have done very well at the Brooks. The teachers especially Mr. Paci and Mr. Allen. They have been the kids favorite teachers. I think the staff and the parents are a great group together. The extra help my child needed with speech was conquered with the help of the great staff at the Brooks. The School is clean, orgazined and all communication is open for dscussion. My children have enjoyed the school to date. They went to another school before this and I feel the Brooks was the right fit for them. Thanks to all the staff and teachers for doing a great job.
