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.

Overall, I really enjoyed my high school experience. I had really good teachers all four years, and the admin was always super kind. I think my teachers were my best experience, and the worst experience was the lack of opportunities to make friends. The school has started more programs this year though to combat that which I really appreciate for future students.

Brevard High School was a great experience. Starting my freshman year in 2020, my self confidence was at a all time low. However, throughout the years I found myself and what I loved to do with the help of many teachers and influences within the school. Brevard High prepared me to face the world outside of our small town and will always have a special place in my heart.
