Brentsville is overall a great school. It is a small school that with a majority of the students being white due to the rural location of the school. Brentsville is a more sports orientated school. The school's best parts would be the outside lunch area for the seniors and the worst part would be the long lunch lines. I would like for Brentsville to add another lunch line to reduce waiting time.

The small school give you an opportunity to do more and connect with others. As I look back now, I am thankful for how Brentsville District helped prepare me for my future. Even during some of the trying times of being a teenager, I still have stong memories and friendships from high school.

Brentsville District High School is by far the BEST high school in Prince William County. The teachers and administrators truly care about the students. The school provides many opportunities for success for all students: CTE, clubs, athletics, music. Parents are listened to and encouraged to participate in their children's education.

They zoom...

We have had nothing but great experiences with the teachers, faculty, and other students at BDHS. I know our daughter will definitely miss going here once she graduates!

The absolute WORST! Shockingly sad state of education here. In PWCS we have choices, we don't have to put up with this. The county needs to take a close look at what is going on in this school and make it better. Until someone is willing to render accountability, this school will continue to be a ve...
