Going to Springbrook High School has been an experience. I've been able to participate in many extracurriculars and meet new people. The diversity at the school allows for exposure to new cultures and experiences. As a student, I got the opportunity to join my school's art program, athletic, and clubs. Some things I would like to see change are in the school lunches, to have more well-balanced meals and better options.

The best part of my experience at Springbrook High School has been getting to know people of different cultures because of the vast amounts of cultures in the school. One thing that stood out to me as a negative was the school spirit. Football games and homecoming was something I was really looking forward to, but at our school, no one really cares.

Springbrook is an overall good school but it has multiple things about it that I'll just say need some work like the facilities are sometimes not kept well. It was so bad that the school had to close early one time because the AC stopped working entirely. But the school has many good teachers who support what you want to do with your life after high school and help you a ton in their classes.

My son currently attends Springbrook HS and now in his senior year. Compared to other schools in this area, this school is by far the best. Like all other MCPS schools, they have issues with transportation due to not having enough buses/drivers to accommodate all the students. It is a public school...
