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.

Brockton high school is described as a jail because of the outside appearance but its not all bad. While you have 4 minutes to walk to a class you may encounter a fight or two and then be marked tardy when you get to class. You can explain the situation to the teacher how you may have just seen two fights and they were blocking the way and they would still be more upset at you. They have autofail where you cant be absent more then 4 times a semester. That is nonsensical, People get sick, People are busy. In all I would rate Brockton high a 3.5/10 and a big reason for that is the people employed there.

It's a nice school overall just needs more strict policies. They need to find a way to control the amount of kids that skip class and just wander off.

I recently graduated from Brockton High this year, and although the school is not perfect, I would not have chosen any other high-school to attend. There are sooooo many resources that can be utilized- especially for struggling teens. One girl that I knew, who really had it hard, was helped by many...
