GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Through my 4 years at brentwood there have been many ups and downs. I wouldn't say this school is awful but i wouldn't say perfect either. I was a transfer from the city and once I came and experienced the culture of Brentwood I quite enjoyed it. All these kids have grown up together so it is very cliquey. On the other hand I found it really easy to engage and make friends due to the amount of different people you will meet. The building is huge and classes all over the place so you are bond to see new people everyday. The teachers for the most part and very understanding and want students to succeed and try their best. This creates a nice atmosphere for us students to want to try our best. Overall i would rate Brentwood High School a 8/10

As a student in Brentwood High School, I've definitely seen many changes throughout the years. Nobody is perfect so there is definitely a lot of room for improvement in terms of administration and how they handle certain situations, as well as how they carry out certain policies. One thing I can say is that most of the staff are absolute sweethearts or they're hilarious people who genuinely care about their jobs but also about their students.
