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.

So, I have had a bad and good experience here at Brandywine. I just transferred here at the beginning of the school year and honestly, it wasn't really what I expected. Here, I have gotten bullied more than my old school which is Vicksburg High School and that school is A LOT bigger than Brandywine. I don't feel like I belong here as much. Just some students make it feel that way toward me. Others have different experiences with this school, mine are average. I have not gotten in trouble, but have been in the office and have had to leave because I didn't feel like I was safe or somebody said something that really hurt me. Brandywine is an all around good school, but it's not 100% best school ever. I am getting really good As mostly As & Bs. I am a very smart young lady, but I feel like the courses are too easy. I need more of a challenge which Brandywine cannot offer me. I also need a more variety of classes that again Brandywine cannot offer me.

The time that I have spent here so far has been an amazing experience for me. The academics are very good and I especially enjoy their science department I think they have done a wonderful job of teaching us students.

The school education is lacking in all areas. When I went to college after graduating from Brandywine high school I had to start from scratch. The Brandywine schooling system is desultory in all areas. Brandywines athletics are also a joke. Poor coaching as well as low quality facilities. Overall Brandywine lacks in academics and athletics. If I was to re-choose a high school that wont waste your time and money, I would have choose Edwardsburg public schools.

Brandywine is a small school with small budgets, but they maximize their resources. One advantage of attending a small school is that students are able to participate in many activities, teachers know all the kids, and the administrators are able to truly care about and look out for all students. It...

My child attended Brandywine and never had to write a research paper after the eight grade level. My child now attends a Big Ten school, but finds that they are so underprepared for the academics there (yet graduated with a 3.96 GPA from Brandywine). It is sad to hear my child say, the great disappo...

I am sorry to say that I have not had such a great experience with my child who has a learning disabiliy. The school seems content to let him fail. He has received little to no support and I have been treated with little respect.
