Over the past three years, students at Brookside Elementary have consistently met or exceeded academic growth expectations. This success reflects the hard work of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the strong support from our families. We’re proud of the progress our students continue to make each year!

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
