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 like Brown County High School because it's where my friends go. I think that teachers do a great job with what they have to work with, but I don't think they have a lot to work with in the school system itself. I know this because my mom is a teacher. I think that BC does well with making the sports players feel very welcome and good about themselves. For the people who don't play sports I cannot speak for them. I just think that technology and the school need to catch up to date.

This school has made great strides in recent years academically. It regularly recognizes academic achievement. The Ready for College, Ready for Work certification program that includes the ratings of soft skills is especially beneficial to potential employers.
