Reviews
I don't really know much about this Brightside Academy, but I do know that when I volunteered at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, close to this Brightside Academy, one of my mentors took or takes her child here and I've heard from her that it is great with her kid. One time there was an emergency concerning her child and they notified here quick. That's all I really know about it. Also is closed to the middle school that I used to go: Roberto Clemente Middle School which I believe now its a charter school. Everytime I would get out of school I would pass by the Brightside Academy. It seems nice.
