My experience at this school the past 3 years has been underwhelming. There is never a lot of work, but more drama. This school does a poor job at keeping parents up to date with situations that could possibly cause harm to their children and sweeps many incidents under the rug. The only good thing is that I have been granted with the opportunity to graduate a year early and get a headstart on a high education to pursue my dreams.

I have had a decent experience at BHS. Most everyone has been welcoming. I enjoy the Health Science two year program. I feel like I am being prepared to become a nurse which has been my goal since 6 years old. I would say that the college and career readiness program could be a little more in depth. I have developed some good relationships with some wonderful teachers too.

Teachers and administration are nice. They are stern and enforce the rules. At the same time, they are willing to work with each situation differently. The school is what you make of it! It is a great experience, if you want it to be!! I love Brookhaven High Scholl!
