GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I personally love Brooks High School. I am a proud senior if the Brooks High School and it's community. The overall atmosphere of Boorks is very welcoming. The staff and administration are all striving to truly give the students a brighter future. In my eyes, there really is no true downside to joining Brooks High School.
