Brookside Elementary School

I think the Susquehanna Valley School district is great if you have an average child with no difficulties. However I have a son with Autism so in that respect my problem isn't with the school itself but the director of special services who will not allow me to be a parent and make sure my son gets a great education that he deserves. I am trying to ensure he and the children around him are safe and the district is fighting me and even doubted his diagnosis until I got him reevaluated and proved to them is is autistic. The sad thing is we aren't the only family they are doing this to. They fight every family in this positon or so I hear. BEWARE!!!

Brookside is a wonderful Suburban school. It has a strong academic focus and a provides opportunities in the arts and in music. It has a low teacher-student ratio with and srong support system for struggling students. They have good test scores and an active PTA. It is a wonderful place for young learners.

I think that Brookside is a good school, they have an excellent staff with the exception of a couple of staff members. Mrs. Simpson the school principal is terrible with parent relations. If you have a problem, rather than working with you to try to fix it, she gets defensive and condescending. I believe Brookside would be a better school if Mrs. Simpson were replaced.
