My experience at brooks county has honestly been pretty eventful from the best and worst moments. The teachers are easy to get along with, you are able to make connections with them without judgement. The amount of diversity in the school provides a sort of reassurance in a way that everyone is different. The school overall is a safe learning environment. Some of the worst parts of the school include, for me the food, which is just my personal opinion because I am a picky eater.

Oh yeah,it was definetly one of the places i have spent my time at. It has some of the teachers I have ever seen and quite "unique" staff. I cannot blame my fellow students for acting the away they did when we were being showered in apathy daily towards the end of our time there. There was a stark difference between when we started and after covid came and shook things up.

It has been amazing attending to Brooks County. It has not only helped me to learn a new language, but it has also been helpful regarding involvement in clubs and helped me find my academic path.

This school doesn’t seem to take bullying seriously. They should focus more on the mental health of students by enforcing their anti-bullying policies.
