The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Brawley is a school known for sports and has many opportunities for athletics. They give the people that attend many opportunities to fufill their goals academically and athletically. Most teachers are very leniant when it comes to working with students to help them succeed later on. One thing I would like to see change is the food they serve in the cafeteria but other than that brawley is a nice school to attend.

I enjoyed having teachers who really cared for students. From my experience teachers would help one-on-one with a student to improve grades and help with work. I would like to see more CTE classes at BUHS because they are very beneficial to those students who want to enter the workforce right away.
