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.

My high school experience has been an up and down experience my first year and a half I didn't really care about school but then after that I started to and I saw how good school was and how good my school environment is as well as the teachers counselors students I started seeing my school for more than what it is more of a safe haven or a place I can go everyday and feel safe School has been a hold of some experience and everyone around it and in the school has always made it fun to go.

After being at this school for four years already, I feel good saying that I came to Brawley Union High School. Although we have had some issues regarding students, the school does a great job teaching the students, keeping them safe, and helping them prepare for their next step in life.
