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.

I think it's an okay school, I would like to see more options for music and art and more funding towards these branches. I wish the school emphasized acceptance and kindness more

Overall, I love being a part of BC Community. I moved to Brookfield my sophomore year and everyone was super kind and welcoming. Throughout my years here academics were mainly focused and teachers are pushing too much homework. I would love to see teachers give less homework during the end of the term and see us more than just our grade.

Throughout my enrollment in the Elmbrook Schools District, Brookfield Central High School has provided me with the most memorable and positive experience. I would not want to attend any other High School.

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.
