Attending Brooks College prep has prepared me to face challenges regarding college courses and coursework. I have deeply enjoyed being apart of a community so strong as Brooks. Our Teachers and Principal have taken our struggles into their own hands to guide us worry-free to through this high school experience. I have not felt worried or frightened to enter my next steps of life because I have had an amazing opportunity to be taught how to handle stress and how to be successful

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.

My experience at Brooks was very unusual. I came in during my sophomore year and had to adjust to high school due to COVID but it was very easy to get used to and become comfortable.

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...

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 out of 10. Very good school.

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.
