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.

The teachers are really nice, but there isn't as much opportunities for advanced students as I would like.

I am part of the football hockey and tennis team and I play cello for the orchestra I think overall activities are great. I would like to see the school to start cracking down on the drugs at school. I would also like to see them fix and open up the 3 bathrooms that are closed, but overall it's a pretty good school only a few bad teachers but many good ones.

Brookings high school is a good school for learning. It has some good teachers that are really dedicated to the education of students. It also has many classes available that allow students to explore what they are interested in. Though one thing that I wish they changed was to give the arts more funding and attention.

The principal is the best and really cares about each and every child pe...

This school has it's ups and downs. It is highly drug infested. They offer good classes and the teachers really do care. There are a small amount of students that attend this school and the athletics absolutely suck. There really aren't any cliques and there are never fights.
