My overall experience at Brookline High School was good. Academics are rigorous and most of my teachers were very engaged and helpful. The most outstanding part of my school was the availability of resources for people with more advanced needs. This includes those who are in danger of dropping out, those with special needs, and those who missed large amounts of school. We also had several days throughout the year where students and teachers alike were able to speak about their experiences being people of color and being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. In addition, when there were problems, for example, an offensive spirit day (ex. Hawaiian) administration listened and responded appropriately to student feedback.
Going into my first year of high school, I was somewhat overwhelmed by its size from aspects of enrollment and buildings. Looking from afar, Brookline High School appeared to be a massive, intimidating school. However, after attending tours, orientations, assemblies, and ultimately, starting my Freshman year, I gained a new perspective on this school. The wonderful community, committed staff, and superior academics of the Brookline High School were all factors in my reconsideration of the school as a whole. Through solely one semester of attending the Brookline High School, I had observed its extensive display of conventional school standards. Strikingly, the rich school culture and the dedication toward every student's success combined with the freedom and democracy of Brookline High School had caused me to give this school five stars.
Great teachers and lot's of opportunities. Aside from it's strong academic performance, Brookline offers a lot (sometimes too many) clubs. A great place to flourish with a good amount of competitiveness -- except in advanced math. BHS goes above and beyond with college readiness if you take advantage of the AP courses offered. Faculty are overwhelmingly friendly, helpful and highly competent. My biggest complaint would be the cafeteria food. Although the student run restaurant offers an alternative, it tends to have long lines and high price tags.
