I've always enjoyed a small-scale environment, which this high school definitely has! There are a little over 1,100 students, which causes advanced or specific classes to progressively get smaller. This enabled a greater connection between these teachers and their students. This school has great spirit despite its overall size and budget.
Brentsville is an extremely small school with barely over 1000 students. This creates a tight-knit community where almost everyone knows each other and is polite to one another. However, it is located in a small town where people's upbringing makes them a bit rude to people who do not look like nor act like them. As a black female, this was something I had to get used to immediately but it still baffles me how differently people of color were treated. Problems with racism tended to be swept under the rug, as well as situations with sexual assault. It seemed like the school would prioritize keeping certain people's reputation squeaky clean than holding them accountable. There is also a lack of diversity there as well. Additionally, the newest version of the building was built in the 1960s and renovated in the 1990s, so things like the air conditioning is scarily outdated. Overall, I have found my group that makes me feel comfortable and I tend to just stick with that crowd.
Brentsville District High School (BDHS) is a very welcoming school and made me feel like I belonged after the first week of being a freshman. I never thought I be interested of being in high school until spirit week rolled around and everywhere you looked almost every student was dressed for the spirit that day. Everyone welcomes any type of person no matter what and the teachers are always putting our interest first. Not only are the students high spirited for their school, but sometimes even the teachers can out spirit the students. Seeing how everyone gets during a time to celebrate our school made me fall more in love with BDHS. For high school being a tough time with grades it sure flew by and I know I'm gonna be a bit sad to say goodbye to all the people I've known and the great times I had there.
