This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

11/9/2023

Brandywine High School has its highs, but also its lows. I decided to attend here solely because of its biomedical program, as it is one of its kind in Delaware, and it was fully worth it for all of the opportunities i've received. However, Brandywine is not a safe place to be on a daily basis, wether it be threats, bullying, or even fights.

My overall experience has been rough but further down the years it became really good some times it would be challenging but the school has great stuff helpful and everything they have your back i enjoyed going to school and i'm so sad to leave next year i learned a lot through the years i've attended there.

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.
