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 have been in brown county schools my whole life, I don't really have any changes to do to the school, because the school is already getting the changes I would talk about done by next year.

Enjoyable so far has options for most people. Could provide more AP tests and other academic options. More focused on other departments within the school system.

I personally love my school. The teachers are so supportive and caring and are all really good at their jobs. However, I would personally like to see our school be more inclusive. Our diversity here is low, which results in lots of students using racial or overall discriminatory slurs both at school and outside of it. Helping to make our school more inclusive would help to make our schools' small minority population feel more welcome.

Leaving BCHS I felt p...
