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.

The best part of this high school is how well the community comes together when they need it too. It is a very small school and everyone knows everyone so when someone is in need the school likes to provide anything they can to help provide families with basic needs. Also the sports are a very big part within this school and the atmosphere around sports in general is great. The support that comes around from everybody is a great advantage within this small school.

The best thing about learning at Brandywine Heights High School is how helpful the teachers are. They know about my hearing disabilities and help me whenever I need the help. They know my accommodations and know what to do when I need help with something. Their curriculum is also very well organized and they know what teacher teaches best and what is best for their students and their success in life. I enjoy learning at Brandywine and will for my last 2 years there.

All the girls teams get put last too. I feel like the teaching methods ONLY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL aren't satisfa...
