Brewster High School overall was a good experience. The safety and cleanliness of the school is overall very good. The academics are good and the class sizes are fair and not overwhelming. The food however is not really appetizing and there aren't a lot of options. Even something like a salad bar could add variety and provide healthy options for the students.

The overall environment was decently welcoming with of course a few outlying faculty who really made the school shine. The academic experience was about average, but there could be more courses tailored to life after high school. Some students attending this school may have felt underprepared for going out into the world. It was not a bad high school to attend and I had 4 pretty good years there.

At Brewster Schools, I was able to become part of the community in multiple different ways: clubs, sports, classes. The list is almost endless. Besides the immense community that I am able to find at my school, the teachers are for the most part extremely involved in each of the students lives (maybe a little too much, haha), which helps us in a multitude of ways. I found my best of friends that I hope to keep, and I have discovered my passions that I hope to pursue in college.

I would rather raise my kids in a 3rd world country with no school than enroll them in Brewster High School.

I have 3 kids in this district, one in college already and did very well. They offer plenty of advance placement and now even tech programs to those interested in STEM.
