GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoyed the friends and many of the classes that I took at Springbrook. I took mostly AP, dual enrollment, and IB courses at Springbrook. In my AP and IB classes, I did not find the rigor that I found while taking my dual enrollment classes. Springbrook does not prepare its students for college well. The safety at Springbrook is a concern. There have been gunshots heard from school, as well as a stabbing incident this year. There are often fights, and many students have access to violence.

My experience at Springbrook High School was pretty good I had a really good sophomore year and junior year but senior year went by fast. I had a great time with my friends and I made new ones joining the soccer team my sophomore year. I wish Covid wasn't a thing since freshman year was online but it was still a good experience. The teachers do a lot for me, at least the ones I've gotten to know. Although I wish I would have participated in clubs, they've offered better clubs and opportunities for the upcoming classes.

I had a overall good experience at Springbrook High School. The best part was making lifelong friends and spending time together doing cultural activities with them. The worse parts are the fights that happen often which punishments result in mere slaps on the wrist. I would like to see the principal and teachers help the students more.

i'm currently in this school as a senior and my time was spent having to see fights and bomb threats last year, kids making out in the hallways, teachers getting mad at the kids and kids in general just getting on my nerves but i would recommend it for the clubs they offer and how helpful the career...

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...
