Brookline High School has a variety of courses. One improvement should definitely be the food. Raw chicken was served once.

I loved this school however I see many flaws such as the safety protocols when fights/violent behavior occur. I've also noticed a lack of accountability for racism and prejudice in the school causing it to sometimes feel like an unsafe place for minorities. I've loved almost all of my teachers and I feel like it's easy to get a strong connection with them however the administration such as guidance counselors, deans, etc don't do a good job at creating a safe space for students to feel welcome

Very rich town, facilities are good. Loved most of my teachers. Many extracurriculars and electives choices. Lack of diversity. Things such as prom and yearbook are expensive but you can receive help from the school to pay for things if you are eligible.
