Brown is the right educational experience for me. I have small classes where I feel close with both my classmates and my teachers. Classmates are extraordinarily welcoming and accepting. My teachers set aside enormous amounts of time to support me. The teachers are very accommodating and truly care for the students. As a senior, I have had many conferences regarding my college applications with teachers. They are excited for my future.
Brown has a few flaws, the math department struggles. Our test scores are always lowest in that category, but it isn't just test scores that matter. By being a small school, there are small events that many find skippable. The sports games are not widely attended and our dances can be boring, (Prom was super fun though).

The J. Graham Brown School is an excellent school which truly challenges its students to be self-directed learners and empathetic citizens. The school culture and environment allows for student individuality to flourish and encourages students to seek always to better not only their understanding and the understanding of their peers, but to better their very selves and the community around them.
The Brown School is not perfect, but it is as close to perfect as I’m going to get with public edification. I am diagnosed with autism, OCD, dyspraxia, and a variety of other things that impede my ability to function. Previously, I attended a school where I was not able to be mainstreamed most of the time and had constant mental breakdowns; I was bullied regularly by the staff and students, causing me to become depressed and anxious. Here, I still have problems, but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Here, I can walk down the hallways and not be worried about being attacked unlike my previous school. Here, I am able to participate in class. Here, the ECE teacher and a lot of the other teachers truly care about the students. I’m not saying that I haven’t had bad experiences; I still experience discrimination and bullying. However, I am doing so much better.I am even taking many AP classes as a freshman and maintaining a 4.25 GPA.The Brown School is truly a unique place
