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.

It's been okay really. Not to bad not to good. I wish there was more diversity. Sometimes when you say things especially in the middle school they go unheard and nothings done.

Public school with great teachers and staff. Very friendly school with great students. A great education and teachers are very welcoming and want you to succeed and graduate high school.

At Brewster Schools, I was able to become part of the community in multiple different ways: clubs, sports, classes. The list is almost endless. Besides the immense community that I am able to find at my school, the teachers are for the most part extremely involved in each of the students lives (maybe a little too much, haha), which helps us in a multitude of ways. I found my best of friends that I hope to keep, and I have discovered my passions that I hope to pursue in college.

I would rather raise my kids in a 3rd world country with no school than enroll them in Brewster High School.

I have 3 kids in this district, one in college already and did very well. They offer plenty of advance placement and now even tech programs to those interested in STEM.
