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.

Brookfield High school has provided every resource necessary for my success since day one. There are college advisors, understanding teachers, guidance counselors, and even coaches who will take the time out of their day to work with you. The community is great, and is a great academic school. Overall a very safe and great school.

My experience at Brookfield High School was very good. I loved the environment that the teachers in the school created. The teachers were very well trained and really cared about me succeeding in school. The student life was also so great. We always had amazing school spirit and our grade was a very tight knit group. The academics were great and we were offered many different classes to choose from ranging from many different levels of difficulty. Overall I wouldn't change my high school experience at all.
