Brookfield Elementary School
Approximately seven miles from Randolph, Brookfield Elementary School
is located on the Ridge Road in Brookfield, Vermont. The school was built
in 1968, and an addition was put on in 1979. Between 1996 and 1997, a
recreation area (with a Little League field) and a Mezzanine was built
to provide library/media space in the school. There is one principal,
16 teachers, and 12 support staff for the K-6 school population of 114
students. Their school philosophy begins with the following statement:
"The school exists to educate the whole child. Learning must foster academic
achievement and social responsibility. Emphasis will be placed on how
to learn and acquire knowledge as well as on the mastery of skills, facts
and concepts. The students will learn to set goals for themselves and
enjoy a healthy self-concept. In order to achieve this, the unique abilities
inherent in each child will be recognized and encouraged. In this way,
the child should become a useful and contributing member of society."
