             “Brooks Academy is a great school. My son started there in the 6th grade and is now in the 9th grade. Our local school district is Judson. The drive to and from the school each day is long but well worth the excellent education he is getting. The teachers really care about the students and take an interest in helping if a student is struggling in a subject. The principal always schedules time for you to speak with him about any concerns. He listens and responds very well to come to a successful solution to the situation. He takes the time out of his busy schedule instead of pushing you off to speak with another staff member. I believe he truly cares about the school and most of all the students. I highly recommend this school to anyone..”
