This is the worse school EVER.....The teachers, staff, children, and parents are the worst that I have seen. I plan for this to be my children's first and last year.

There is a very good reason why some schools get this type of review. The leadership and staff needs to be replaced in order for the students to have a good quality education.

BVES has a changing culture and greater accountability! This change is uncomfortable, but necessary. Some can meet the challenge, and some cannot. Our children have changed in the past 30 years, and our teaching methods mut change as well! Success is imminent!

Worst school ever! I would not recommend this school to anyone. My son was stuck by another student with a pencil in his neck. Teachers say they didn't see anything but the nurse say another.

Brookview Elementary School has the unique distinction of having featured the first ever bmx (bicycle motocross) race. The race was sponsored by the 7th Grade class in 1973 and organized by the race's winner, Wind O'Neal. Although the course was flat and square in shape it spanned the entirety of the back playground and consisted of a gravel surface and one jump made of plywood. A parent took pictures of the event

Brookview is an excellent school. The staff and the principal do a wonderful job as far as teaching discipline and teaching all learning objectives to the students that attend Brookview. This is my daughter,s first year as a prekindergartin student and I am assured that she will attended K-5 at Brookview.
