GreatSchools Rating
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.

I have gone to Brevard High all four years. I absolutely love the environment the teachers and staff have created for the students. Everyone can feel like they are in a safe place. Most of the teachers are very caring when it comes to their students. The science and math halls are excellent. However, the building needs to be worked on. The cafeteria and "Old gym" are falling apart.

Over the past four years, my school has been through a lot. During freshman year there were 2 suicides in my grade as well as a bomb threat. When the school was in a state of fear and mourning the staff was able to bring everyone together and support the students. I have always felt like the teachers and staff create a safe environment for everyone to express themselves and learn better.

I have had a very good experience with Brevard High School as a student for over three years. There has been nothing bad that has happened to me personally while at Brevard High School. It is an amazing facilitator for education and young minds.

Even though it's amazing, Brevard High School could definitely use some tender love and care. For instance, our CTE wing is the oldest hallway here. The wa...
