Brien McMahon high school is a great school. Very diverse and they help you with a lot of different problems there's therapy and counselors that help a lot. You're always free to ask questions. The teachers try their best to teach you what you're supposed to be learning. There's time will you won't want to get up for school but you just have to be have a strong mindset for the 4 years you're in highschool. Overall highschool will have ups and downs. You're most likely to have a fun freshman year but after that it gets serious.

It's a mediocre school. Could be better in many areas but could also be way much worse. I'd give it a 6/10 overall.

I have had a good experience at this school and I think it has helped me develop many skills that I will be taking to the later stages of life as well as creating lifelong connections that I could never take for granted. This school has taught me so many good and useful things along with the great environment set up by the teachers makes for a great learning environment
