BROOKSIDE LEARNING CENTER

Brookside Learning Center is a public school that is part of the Heritage Southwest Intermediate School District school district, located in CASSOPOLIS, MI with about 35 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 11 teachers, Brookside Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Brookside Learning Center, located in Cassopolis, Michigan, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Lewis Cass Intermediate School District (LCISD).
