Brooks College Prep Academy is a good selective enrollment school, I like being here. It's easy to connect with people and make friends, tons of help and tutoring if you are struggling, and tons of teachers who are trustworthy and helpful. Some teachers can be a problem and sometimes grading can be a little slow but the school work here challenges the students to the best of their abilities and there is no room for slacking and more time management.

Brooks is a nice community that values instilling habits into its students. Their enthusiasm towards order is appreciable and their commitment to creating a prepared student is evident.
6/9/2024
Brooks provides a great academic experience to students. Since attending the school, I´ve felt as though I´ve been supported throughout my academic career and grown throughout all academic areas. I would like to see more events offered to students because of the heavy workload we take on.

This school has very great academic opportunities and helps you prepare for college, but it’s not recommended. The principal there only cares about SAT’s and scores.. she treats the students like robots and she doesn’t provide social and emotional support. Starting off, it can be so much academic pr...
3/17/2022
I believe many of the teachers care and the principal is actively engaged with students and families. However, some of the teachers are very unprofessional and not held accountable for their actions. This impacts students in inequitable ways.
9/6/2019
9 out of 10. Very good school.
10/13/2018
Personalized and individualized instruction makes this school unique....allows students to learn to their potential without the stress and pressure of having to be "perfect" all the time! Love this unique and modern..."healthy" learning approach.
