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.

The best parts of Brookwood are the community around it. I love the people and the friendship that is evident at the school. However, with the age of the school, the faculties are lacking in many areas.

High school can be a little like a "choose your own adventure" book. If you want an academically rigorous education, you can have one at Brookwood High. If you want to jerk around and get nowhere for four years, you can probably achieve that as well. My son has been rigorously challenged for four ye...
