Brentwood High School Reviews

Brentwood High School is an incredible school which gives students every chance of success. The student body is on the whole a tolerant, mature, and intelligent group of teenagers who try and will do their best. Nearly every teacher is an expert on their subject. Teachers like Dr. Marrero, Mrs. Pratt, and Mrs. Kleine Kracht each could work at the collegiate level but for the love of their students they stay- with so many AP classes available, the school nearly is a college! Beside the teachers, our Administration is very broad and accepting of nearly any student initiative and will work with students to accomplish their goals. I cannot imagine a stronger environment by which I want to raise my own children in the years to come.
Review Brentwood High School
Brentwood High School is an excellent school because of the amazing teachers that are employed here. As a student for all four years, I have learned so much from every teacher I've had. They are all so knowledgeable and have a true love for teaching their students. My teachers this year, as a senior, are very aware of the big changes their students are about to experience, and they are available for guidance and support whenever it may be needed. I have made incredible memories here at Brentwood High School and would recommend this establishment of higher learning and excellence to everyone for this reason alone. Brentwood High School offers much more with its diversity of its students and teachers, opportunities in sports, the arts, and clubs, and its achievements, as a whole, in all areas of the school. Brentwood High School is known for its intelligent students and teachers, all welcoming and encouraging of anyone who may become a Brentwood Bruin.
I speak mostly for AP classes, but our teachers devote themselves to every student's academic success and personal well-being. Teachers provide relatable real-world examples and application before introducing the details of a topic, follow the syllabus, and make themselves available for tutoring and emotional support. They practice balanced teaching styles from lectures to self-taught research, incorporating technology through their class webpages and interactive online programs. However, some teachers get caught up in testing standards and results instead of the subject itself, leading students to cheat, fall behind, or manipulate the system for better scores.
