Highly Recommended. Both of my kids are currently enrolled at Brookridge Day School. We could not be any more pleased with our experience. The teachers are great, and every single one of them have contributed to my children's personal growth and education. My shy 3 year old who entered the program 5 years ago, is this year performing a solo in front of hundreds of people. He could not be more confident. The school offers after school activities, and makes it easy for children with parents who work full time to participate in after school activities. Academically the school is top notch with some of the best test scores in the state. The spanish teacher is wonderful - my five year old knows every color, number (1-20) and body part in Spanish. The music teacher performs miracles every day. Come watch the children perform at Crown Center every year!

average at best..or less. had child there for three years. not imprssed towards the end. learned things I did not see in the early program. there is an anti bully program but the actual teachers in c.room are not managing bullying to degree a very very good public school would. kids are getting away with things that are not right, mean and sort of "Smart" bullying like pinching or ostracizing. bec so small other kids often afraid to say anything

not so imprssd with curriculum but that is because it is small and that's not really the fault of the school

this gets one star bec. the principal seems solid and it is a safe place for child to go..secured in and out, music program is nice touch. no art however. very little spanish. I think if you found a really good primary school (I realize this can be very hard as no districts here have any standard expectations school by school) you would be better off.

Wonderful Experience. As a parent of two children that are Brookridge kids, I can only say "Thank you" to the school and all of the wonderful teachers and staff that have made it such a wonderful experience for our entire family. The best compliment I could pay to Brookridge was deciding (and it was not difficult) to send our second child. Brookridge is so much more than a school...they are family. They have been there to support us (both parents and kids) during life's ups and downs and always ready to give a hug on those days when you need a little extra encouragement. Their dedication to bring out the best in each child makes us feel confident we are giving our children the best education possible. We are fortunate to live in an area with great public schools and deciding to pay more so our children could attend Brookridge required us to make budget decisions. We have never regretted our choice and will continue to be advocates for this school long after our children graduate. Go Bulldogs!

Best School Ever!. Brookridge Day School is a wonderful place to send your kids! Our family has been involved with BDS for the last 5 years and we hated to leave. My son just graduated from third grade and I can’t tell you how much we wished this school continued to the 12th grade! I sent a letter to the principle before we left – and this is a small quote from it “We are losing a place - where there is love and nurturing, learning and growth going on” that is how we feel about Brookridge Day School. The level of education cannot be matched and if that wasn’t enough the level of devotion to the kids is amazing!! From the teachers, to the office staff, to the principle as well as our beloved music teacher – they all hold a special place in our hearts!! Come see for yourselves – this is the place to send your kids!!!

First rate private school!. Our grandchildren have attended Brookridge Day School for many years. The caring staff meets the needs of the whole child, while providing an award-winning academic program. We highly recommend Brookridge for any parent that is looking for a top-notch accredited school, with a top-notch staff, that is second to none.

Worst choice all round for children. I would not recommend this school to any parent. The staff is emotionally harmful to a childs self esteem. All of them.

They have a music teacher that is like Hitler. She plays games with child and it's not normal. The principal does nothing about it.

It is mediocre in the education department. It's suppose to be a private school and more personalized education. My child needed a tutor because the teacher went from one thing to another without allowing the children to actually get the first thing.

It is very unprofessional, uncaring and a waste of money. Your child could go to a home day care and get a better education.

It is nothing but a business to them. The principal is a total fake. It's nauseating. The entire place is.

BEWARE. The only reason I gave it one star is because I couldn't publish the review without a rating of one. Sad
