Brooktree Elementary School

This is my sons first big boy school. He started kindergarten here. So far it has been a good school. My son really likes it here. And he is learning. I had my first parent teach meeting few weeks ago. and his teacher is a very nice lady. So if you kids are going to start school here at brooktree. Don’t worry it is a good school.

This elementary school I have to say, is one of the top best schools in San Jose on my list. I went here for third grade and now my little sister and brother are currently attending here as well. Thinking back when I went to school here and coming to my siblings’ open house, I can tell that they still care soo much for the children here. They have a lot of extra curricular activities for the kids if they need help on certain subjects in school. What makes this school even better is that they have monthly meetings with parents (optional) if they have any questions or suggestions on the teaching material, or if anyone has any input on anything about the school. With parents, guardians, and teachers being so involved with the school and their children, I believe that’s the reason why this school has such a positive reputation.

Brooktree Elementary is a hidden gem! I am so thankful that this is our neighborhood school. We moved our 4^th and 5^th graders to Brooktree from a local private school due to my older son having ADHD and struggling academically. It was absolutely the best choice we could have made. Both of my sons have excellent teachers, and my son with ADHD has gotten amazing support from the resource specialist. The office staff is friendly and efficient. I’m also very impressed with the school’s emphasis on safety. Academics are challenging but my kids are never stressed, and the homework load seems to be just right. All of the kids and parents I have met are friendly and engaged, and helped us to feel welcome right away. I can’t say enough about this school – it’s awesome!

The kids who wrote the previous posts come to this school to use the basketball hoops, and fields for sports. However, I am a parent at this school and have seen some wonderful changes done to improve the quality of the grounds. A few years back a new playground was put in on the school side and on the park side. The school has been repainted and a new sprinkler system has given life to the green grass all around the school and park.
As for education, Brooktree is one of the top schools in the Berryessa Union School District. It’s teachers are ALL fabulous. Each brings a unique style of teaching and caring to the children. I am very proud of this school and the education it brings to our community. Our sons love this school, and so do I.
I just wish more parents could participate in school activities, like PTA and School Site Council. I think if we had more parent participation, our school would rock even more.

Come here to play basketball when im at my friends house. The hoops here suck though but still good enough. I remember findign a shoppign cart here and doing trick shots off of it. Thsi school is big compared to others. Its a really clean place but sometimes its not so «clean» if you know what i mean. I like the playground area here also.
