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.

As a current senior at Sturgis Brown High School I see places where there's needed improvement and where we excel as a school. There isn't very much representation or participation of the arts (music, dance, etc.) here and I love to see that grow. Although, we do have an exceptional CTE programs, such as welding, woodcrafting, machining, and agriculture classes.

I would like there to be counselors who don't have a bias for certain students so they can be more helpful especially in graduating and having scholarships and just helping you figure things out for all students not just their favorites the office staff needs trained better and more opportunities for students to get the certificates and Awards that help them in real life and in college

Sturgis Brown can be a great place to go to school if you're willing to learn. They offer many clubs, such as the chess club, drama club, and many teams such as the Speech and Debate team, the best Speech and Debate team in all of South Dakota.

The teenage girls at this school are horrible. Unless you are popular and are with the "in" crowd, your going to get treated like crap! There are several teenage girls that want to quit and move to another school due to this problem.

The school and principal involvement is not so great. Not enough help is being provided to the students in the school with the subjects they have difficulties with.
