Brookshire Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-11-13 “Over all this school is good.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-08-26 “Brookshire USED to be a great school, but I know of several parents that have pulled their kids out and I am considering doing the same thing. The new principal, Mr. Moore, is judgmental and unmoving. The teachers rarely follow exceptional student guidelines. Many are preferential to 'good' students and let the slower students fall behind and fail. If it were not for the few excellent teachers left at the school and parental involvement, Brookshire would fail, as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-18 “Excellent teachers and staff. The student to teacher ratio can't be beat. Brookshire was #1 in the county for Reading scores. They earned 100 points more than the requirement to be an 'A' school. They recieved a 'B' rating because the gains for the lowest 25% need improvement. They are making concentrated efforts to assist these students, and to regain the 'A' rating that they have had up to this point. Brookshire was ranked 19th (out of 200) in Orange County. We moved to the neighborhood 2 years ago, and we love it. The P.E. teacher has brought in great programs like bike safety, yoga, and swimming. Winter Park school children and families have access to a counseling program called 'Chill' that assists with any transition or difficulty.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-04-26 “This is truly a great school! The teachers are all wonderful, the parent support is strong and the leadership is outstanding. No wonder my kids love Brookshire!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-10-05 “It is easy to say a school is wonderful when you have an academic loving child. I have the opposite with my youngest child. He was falling behind and in 3rd grade failed the FCAT. I took him to Huntington for an evaluation. He was reading at first grade level. After 4 months (6 hours a week)at Huntington, he was reading at 4th grade level and had confidence in himself. He felt like an outcast at Brookshire because he wasn't an easy student for learning by the way they teach. The teachers are dedicated and hard working, but only teach one way and that doesn't work for all students. They do not seem open to ideas, and have a very obvious preference for the easy students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-06-27 “Great school! My kids got a quality education from Brookshire! And are doing well in middle/high school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-07 “I love this school. The staff is very supportive and are willing to help you through any situation.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-06-06 “Brookshire is a decent school, although it does not live up to the good reputation that it seems to have. The administration and teachers are not at all open to suggestions from parents, can be quite uncooperative, and have an attitiude of 'if you don't like it, too bad.' The P.E. program is a complete joke and music and art aren't much better. Children can get a mediocre education here, but I don't see how that justifies the 'A' grade that the school continues to recieve.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2006-05-19 “Wonderful PTA! Parents are extremely welcome to be as involved as possible in class. All staff members are very nice. Beautiful campus small and quaint.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-11 “My kids have been in this school since pre- k and we have always been pleased!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-11 “The principal is very caring and fair.The teachers are what make this school so great.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-28 “This school is great- my kids have been here since pre- k and I have never had any complaints at all.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-22 “I have one child attending Brookshire Elementary. Overall, I am fairly pleased with my experiences. There is a lot of parental involvement. The PTA is very active, so that's a great thing. Its also been my experience that the teachers welcome parental input, support, and questions. The extracurriculars are all there. Every week, the students have art, music, and PE. They also have clubs which meet before and/or after school for things like swimming, jump rope, yoga, etc. The only thing I believe the school is lacking is diversity. I'm hoping to move my daughter to a place where she's exposed to a more diverse population.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-09-20 “This is the first time I place my children in public school. I have a k and a 3rd grader who are dramatically falling behind. My k boy has been learning colors in the last 2 months (which he learned 2 years ago) and my 3rd is 'learning' how to add which he learned 3 years ago in private school. I requested a conference with the principal 3 weeks ago and as of today no luck getting one. I am definetely trying to get back to private schooling, it is worth the investment, where my children will not be underestimated.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-18 “Brookshire is the best elem. school in the winter park area. Great, caring teachers and a wonderful PTA. The school provides super programs for all grades. Mrs. Ackley has a great respect for the teachers and esp. the parents, there are countless opport. for parental involvement. I personally love the open door policy of the staff.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-19 “The quality of academic programs is excellent.The caliber of teachers- Outstanding-The staff-wow- I am extremely pleased with the level of care and concern for all the students including my child. My child wants to be star pupil because it is expected of her both at home and at school. A-Class teachers produces A-Class students which produces a A- Class School. Way to go Brookshire.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-07-20 “Brookshire is an extraordinary school with a warm, caring staff. The class sizes are small, the teachers are able to individualize the material for each student, the principal is exceptional, the majority of parents are involved in helping all of the students succeed... There's just not enough positives I can say for this school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-04-17 “Brookshire is a wonderful school. I found that the teachers were exceptional and the staff very friendly. I could not have been happier with the progress my son made there!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-01-01 “Principal Susan Ackley is actively involved with all grade levels. The teachers provide interactive learning with the children and are receptive to parent involvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-11-20 “Best grade school in Orlando/Winter Park. Have never heard anything bad about it.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-11-20 “Great school. You couldn't do better.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-08-10 “Fabulous school!

Thank you!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2004-06-27 “My son is starting Kindergarten here in August and we have heard nothing but good things about Brookshire. I am excited that he will be going to an 'A' school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-04-28 “My daughter is in Kindergarten, and I think she is getting everything she can. With the great support team that they have there at Brookshire. I would say its worth relocating to, for the best outcome.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-10-06 “Love this school!

School seems to be a strong leader within the community.”
