Brookdale Public School

The school is terrible: 1. Most teachers are careless and not passionate about teaching children. Parent/teacher interviews were always some odd suggestments to improve some skills, but they are never precise. Tell me exactly where my child is lacking and needs help with (like Math, Science anything) and I'll work on it. But when the teacher is telling you that "well, he/she needs an improvement in mostly everything" - it is like WHAT. Can you be more precise? 2. We moved houses for the HDSB and it was very unfortunate. I expected nicer and friendly community of teachers/class/kids. Everyone is just wearing those masks/ playing some kind of fake friendly roles. Kids aren't friendly and everyone is so scared of COVID (that has so passed by now) that no families participate in any birthdays/activities - nothing. Still living the scary COVID era. If you want you child to feel lonely, lost and bored - welcome to the HDSB.

I was a former student here from 2014-16 and most of my experience there was good but the problem is my 2nd year there. I was there from SK-Grade 2. SK and grade 1 were fine but the problem was grade 2. For the first part it was completely fine but when u get to like the February-June part, things started to change. I was treated unfairly and my teacher was extremely racist. I was once falsely accused of bullying a girl when I didnt but she believed it. There were like 5 people who were in my side and said that it wasnt true. But the teacher never listened. Because of that I was sent to the principles office OVER LIKE 15 TIMES because of this. For parents, if you are looking into sending your child to this school, I highly recommend that you check out the staff and the quality of the school

I gave one star as I attended Brookdale from 1966-74 and just googled it to see if it still existed and was shocked to find the only updated difference was the elevator, still dingy & oppressive
