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.

No diversity, teachers aren't invested. There's not a lot of culture at this school, it seems as it is just geared towards the white kids. The teachers that are hired don't seem to care about the children's future.

Attending Brandywine High School is one of the best schools that I've ever attended at this point of my life. The teachers and staff are always looking out for the students beyond their grades and test scores. They are looking t the students for who they are as people and that's something that you can't buy. Although there are bumps in the road and the students and teachers may fall short but the good heavily out weighs the bad. Also the diversity that this school has to offer is beautiful and it goes beyond our ethnics.
