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.

I regret not being home schooled this school is horrible teachers are either nice or complete idiots with little to no help if your having a hard time understanding something. I don't know why people say there's a lot of clubs there isn't and almost all of them aren't fun clubs. classes teach things way to quickly to the point were they make us multitask and we all know its impossible to multitask. girls and boys can do nothing more then walk slow in hallways and think there someone special. this school also using special needs kids as advertising that are crappy lancer lounge is open. as well as teachers could care less about how you feel doing something or if you need help. I mean if you want to go to a better high school go to east I went there for a semester since I had a class there and omg the teachers are so much nicer the school in so much easier to get around. and the own lounge is an actual lounge I have also hade a better experience with the students there.

The students are nice and they care to do well in school. Some of the teachers are excellent and care to prepare the kids for college. One teacher asks the students to bring him food to get extra credits. Principal, vice principal, Athletic Director went to college together so you have to be careful...

I had a great experience attending high school here. Students were motivated and academic-oriented, and generally respectful of others.

Fantastic. Absolutely love Elmbrook and Brookfield C. Having my kids in another WI district - we moved back in less than 6 months - so they could be here.
