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.

I have only attended Brennan for a couple months (start of senior year) but I can already say I love this school and all it has to offer four college preparation. This school has a career center, senior nights where many colleges will come and advertise, and a college transition class as well that I take.

William J. Brennan High School is a pretty good school. There's a diverse amount of clubs and extra-curricular activities that you can participate in to grow your social circle. However there's also a lot of fights, the bathrooms have no doors and most of the stalls are broken. There are some good teachers but most of them don't really care about their students. There's plenty of different classes you can take to learn more. But it's also an extremely overcrowded school.
