Only focused on the "bad" kids. Little recognition for those who tried hard. Academic level does not prepare you for anything. Teachers and administrators come off as rude. But it has some good sides.

Briggs is just an average school. Not awful but not great either. Just remember that at the end of the day, school is what you make of it and Briggs is no exception. Though I would watch out as many fights break out here.
