I liked that we had a variety of lunches to chose from for that day even though some weren't the best. There could be a lot of things changed but mainly how the teachers teach students and how they aren't able to comprehend most of the lesson the way of how teach.

I have went to Brownstown Central High School for four years including this year, my senior year. The teachers and academics are very good, I feel like the teachers try their best to help you. The administration is very good, and also tries so much to help you. The only thing I would change is the bullying and diversity. There is some bullying in our school, more than there should be, and there is not too much diversity between the students.

I spent my whole life in Brownstowns school systems and some of the many things I enjoyed is all the teacher truly cared about each of every student in the classrooms and outside of the classrooms, many of the teachers were also coaches in sports so that also helped contribute to the close bonds many students had. Brownstown was a smaller school which personally made learning easier for me in that setting.

This school does suffer from catering to families that either are wealthy, are sports stars, or have a certain last names. Everyone who doesn't have these qualifications are unfortunately cast aside as another hea...

Teachers of the BCCSC are very professional while setting a positive example on all students at the campus. Sports, academics, and fine art is what the 2A school is known and appreciated by the parents, students, and poeple in the community. The campus is down to earth with low rate of peer pressure...
