    Brooks DeBartolo provides for me a safe and wonderful learning experience. All the teachers are really helpful and care about you, whether it is school related or personal issues. It has all sort of activities to go around so that the students always have the opportunity to engage in school events. There are a wide variety of clubs to join from the Mu Alpha Theta to the Dungeons and Dragons Club, and if you are not satisfied with your options, you can create your own depending on what you want to do! Overall, Brooks is a very good school with its only down side being a small school, but I don't necessarily that is a bad thing.

    My experience at Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High school has been pleasant because it has granted me so many opportunities. Some opportunities at the school are being able to take as many at community college classes I want for free. It also gives me the opportunity to explore my interests with the many clubs, organizations, and associations.The school though has many strict rules that sometimes restrict the students school spirit.
    Overall, I am gladly to report that Brooks Debartolo is an excellent school to send your child to. There is an amazing school culture, the teachers and administration staff care about your well being, physically, mentally, and emotionally, they are very open-minded about a lot of things, events, and situations, and they are very loving and caring, especially compared to other schools I have been to through my previous years as a student. However, I would like to see a change within our school grounds, because although we are expanding slowly, I believe that there should be more opportunities, concerning clubs, honors societies, and sports. But nonetheless, it's a great school to send your child, because they also instill great moral values within their students, that students could bring with them to colleges and careers.
