Brookline High School as a whole is a great experience. There are so many options for classes and electives! Most of the teachers seem to genuinely care about their students. There are so many clubs, sports, and activities- you can certainly find something you’re interested in (or make your own club!). The culture is competitive but teachers are always available to support students. As with any school, there are issues but ultimately students, teachers, administrators, and the town collaborate to make changes.
BHS is an amazing school! Even though there are about 2000 students it is a very tight knit community. There are programs for students who learn best in small class sizes and for those who don't absorb knowledge through traditional teaching methods. This past year the school built a new freshman building and a couple years ago the school renovated it's STEM wing. There are many sports teams and clubs that help connect students with similar interests. The teachers are experienced and try to make learning the most enjoyable experience it can be. Although no school is perfect and BHS is no exception the school tries to learn from its mistakes and listen to the voices of the students.
I only went to BHS for two years, mostly during the pandemic. While it was challenging then, I still believe I got a good education. Since then I have traveled internationally and have noticed that BHS maintained an on-par if not better education than the other countries I have been in. For people who are more skilled at certain subjects, there are plenty of opportunities and classes to grow and excel. Due to the large school setting, students can slip through the cracks very easily regarding teachers, guidance councilors, and their grades. However, there is the benefit of being able to find any group of people that you would desire to be with. There is a lot of both performance and actual activism at the school and it is very liberal, but Brookline itself is like that too. Overall, not a terrible school but you have a high small talk and people threshold and a strong support system outside of school (the stress makes mental health suffer).
