I love my school in many ways. It is a small school in comparison to other schools in my county. Best parts are the teachers and curriculum. I have excelled in this area. Not so good parts are the variety of classes given due to the smallness. But at the end I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Brunswick is an incredibly tight-knit community, with students and faculty who all share the same strong passion for education. While Brunswick High School unfortunately suffers from a lack of funding, the commitment that the staff has for learning far outweighs any financial hardships.

Brunswick High School is a great experience if you surround yourself with the right people. Hopefully, it will be rebuilt soon to address some of the infrastructural problems, but even with them, this school offers enough. Brunswick offers several APs and has a wide variety of clubs and activities to involve yourself in.

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...
