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 given me a pretty good high school experience so far. With the volleyball team and many clubs I'm in it gives me many opportunities to make great friends. I also have gotten a very good education so far amongst the many classes I have taken as well as fun electives. Getting assistance when needed is also readily accessible almost all the time.

Enjoyable! Some of the teachers are very passionate about their jobs which makes it easier to learn difficult materials!!

I've been in Brookfield Schools since I was in Kindergarten, but Brookfield High went from an ok school I was happy with going to everyday and turned into a place I dreaded at points. Without the coaches and some of the staff I would've been out of their and transfer to an online school in a heartbeat. The school doesn't make it easy for students with 504 medical plans and theirs a huge lack of communication with teachers that think it's ok not to email you back.

Brookfield High School had a place for everyone. We are parents of two BHS graduates. One student was an athlete, and the other was not. One had high academic achievement, and the other was a more typical Brookfield "above average" learner. We feel that both of our children got fine educations that...
