5.0 Freshman

12/19/2025

Personally one of my favorite schools in my county for music. The staff are really great and the band director and music chair is one of the best anyone could ask for. Will always encourage kids to learn new instruments and will always be there to help us whenever we need it.

4.0 Sophomore

12/3/2025

Briar woods is a very good high school to attend, the faculty is amazing, and students are very friendly with each other. There are some struggles with a few teachers, but most individuals are very good at teaching and very kind towards their students. Overall its an amazing school to attend.

4.0 Junior

5/21/2025

I really appreciate the amount of resources there are within the school. One thing ai believe is hard for people is to seek help without facing judgment. This is something that is found within many of the staff: no judgement. The bad part is the stress between classes due to contradicting work schedules and assignment due dates.

I have a son with an IEP. We moved here from another school district. My son had always been in general education. The special education dean pushed me to place him in self contained classes before ever reading his IEP or meeting him. We pushed to have him continue in general education, but they did...

So much better than the middle school in this school zone, what a horror that was! Briar woods focuses too much on sports, in my opinion. Too many emails about fundraisers, games, try outs and trophies. And if your kid wants to try out, they need to begin skilling in that sport in 6th grade. As well...
