The administration system was very rude if you weren't related or friends with the staff. Especially advisement. They never properly put me into the school system, so it almost delayed my eligibility to apply to colleges, and they tried to blame me even though they lost the forms we handed in. The school itself was good, and some of the staff were amazing. I think what they need to work on is taking accountability and hiring nicer, more competent people.

From as long as I can remember, various teachers, coaches, and guidance counselors made me believe I was valued and encouraged me to do everything to the best of my ability. Teachers like Mr. Canon, Mr. Fox, &Mrs. Zettler, Mr. Birge and the BHS band family, and so many other guidance counselors and mentors have helped me along the way.

Brunswick is a good school but like all schools it has its issues. Recently there have been problems with inclusivity among the students and the students are quite judgy among each other but most of the teachers are very good at their jobs, the facilities are very good and overall a well run school.

Gangs, Drugs, Violence Doesn't make up a School! Good Education & Great Staff, and both of those is what the school is lacking. If you're Thinking of Switching from Private to Public or even another Public School to this one, just know it's not the Right Decision.
