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
This school is so inclusive and inviting. You can be yourself without worrying about anyone making fun of you. There's no popular people or any sort of social hierarchy. It's SUPER easy to make new friends. Everyone is tired of being with the same group of people for that long of a time so they're ready for a change. The work is hard but it's not too time-consuming. There's a fair amount of homework. During freshmen orientation, I was talking in the area that leads into the lobby with some new friends I had made when a girl I had never met before slammed the lobby doors open and saw me. She yelled at me, "ARE YOU NEW?" and I replied "yes, I am new." She ran over to another group of kids in the lobby and yelled, "WE HAVE ANOTHER NEW KID!" This girl became one of my best friends. As soon as new kids arrived, all the old ones would crowd around them and ask them if they're new (which they are, of course) and become friends with them. In a small school, everyone is friends with everyone.
I have been at the J. Graham Brown School since Kindergarten, so I really know my stuff when talking about the Brown School. The teachers and staff are so amazing, and everyone knows everybody (because we are so small). There is never really a stranger here, so you always have someone to go to when you have an issue. We also have great academics while also keeping a family like environment, which to me seems hard to do for other schools in my district. I feel like my school is the best, and I've loved it ever since Kindergarten.
