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.

Great school! Even though it's not the typical high school experience, the experience that Brooks gives you is fantastic and really prepares you for college.
With BDCHS being such a small school, it is easy for one to make friends and develop a sense of community. One does not feel left out with all of the clubs and organizations assembled at school ranging from democrats clubs to gardening club. No one is left out to be an outcast. Besides the student body, the faculty really help to add to the friendly environment. The teachers are always striving to make the students the best versions of themselves while giving them many resources to be the best they can be. Each person is given the opportunity to be themselves without any sort of fear for judgment. All in all, Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School is an amazing school and I feel grateful to be a part of such an amazing school environment.
