Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary School

We are new to the district. We moved here because of the great reviews. I can honestly say, BEWARE. The staff is rude. They will tell you one thing to your face and do another. I have had so many problems I had to go and hire an attorney, After the attorney looked over the information, she is seriously thinking civil rights issues where violated. Hope it goes better for other families.

My son just started kindergarten at Brooks. I am very happy with his teacher.

My son is currently in 1st grade at Brooks & all (Principal/Office/Teachers/Volunteers)have been great, they care about the kids development (educational/behavioral/social), they encourage parent participation in all areas. I havn't had the chance to personally experience the music, art or sports extracurricular activities yet but I am confident that they meet expectations if not exceed them. I have had the experience of being a part of some other activities such as the Rainbow Program which helps the kids deal with the absence of a parent, loss of loved ones etc.& my son loved it. I also was a part of the Mini-Courses the school offered and the parents/teachers that led this were very organized & well prepared and the kids & parent volunteers had a great time. I can not say enough good things about everyone at Brooks. I would recommend this school to anyone !
