I believe I had a solid 4 years at Brunswick High School, I first got into this Schoo online during the pandemic and as for learning stuff mainly I did it on my own with the guidance of teachers through our time we met in class very similar to what I'm experiencing now in a 4-year university. The teachers for the most part are very chill kind hearted welcoming people but also have a firm serious side during our courses. Overall I would say it's a secluded quiet school and learning here is taken seriously.

The school feels safe as far as community, the teachers are helpful, and the students are mainly kind. Although safety with generally facilities is not great. The school is old and in need of updates but does not meet the population requirements for them.

On a scale of 10 maybe a 2, for the couple of teachers there who actually try to help and teach their students. Most seem to be there just for a check.

We moved to the area "temporarily" and thought our child would only be in Brunswick High School for a few months. However, he grew to love it, and we decided not to move to Northern Virginia after all because of the positive experience here. BHS is the smallest high school in Frederick County, but i...
