Honestly, I'm a senior here and I've been with this school since freshman year and I've got some things to say. The schools "block schedule" is pretty long and it gives the students the mindset of the fact that they can't complete work in a 30-40 min period and need an hour and 20 mins to do a thing. The lunch sizes are more for a 2nd grader, we're teens we need more fuel than a 8 year old. I did notice I was able to wear my hat without getting in trouble, but never told us why that changed. I do remember there was a hard lockdown all over a food fight and I don't think anyone thought there was a food fight. They used to have a phone policy, but no one's really making us follow it anymore, especially after the pandemic. *Homework*Some say that they never give out homework, but it does depend on the teacher. *Learning*This one's a 50/50. They did downgrade the Video Production program (e.x. The 3's were learning things that the 1's should know more than us.), I heard they're removing personal finance math (which why....), and sometimes the lessons aren't so engaging that I'm just bored for the hour and 20 mins. *Social-emotional support*I haven't had much experience with this so I can't really comment.*Special Education*I personally have an IEP and I feel like they do a pretty good job on accommodating me with my IEP, although the teachers haven't really helped too much.*Safety*Sometimes, I do feel unsafe coming here. It's more about if a fights gonna happen because I remember when 2 kids were fighting, the most they did was spray pepper spray at everyone and I was right there where it happened.

Brown is definitely not the best school. Sure, it would be silly to be upset if you get in Brown, but if you have other options for schools you should definitely look into them. The school lunches are not terrible and there's plenty of water fountains around school. The teachers aren't half bad and you can tell they care for your learning. Just be wary of bullying, the school does not do a good job preventing this. School fights among students occur very often. Luckily, as long as you mind your own business it's easy to stay out of them. The school provides students with buses in case you lack transportation. The bus drivers are not always on time so it's best you walk or take the car instead. School lunch and breakfast is free but if you need a second you'll have to pay. The school also uses a kind of currency called Bearbucks. They are given for good behavior. Students can cash these in for items from teacher stores. I can't say if they are easy to earn because it really depends on your teachers. You can choose your electives (classes) during the year. Physical Education, Science, Math, English, and History are required classes. However, you are given the option to choose between the classes Band, Orchestra, Art, Choir, Musical Theater, TV Productions, Robotics, Spanish, Student Council/Leadership (exclusive to 7th and 8th graders,) Student Aid, and Health. There is also optional after school clubs which includes Chess Club, Reader's Theater, Orchestra Club (orchestra elective required) and After School All Stars. Along with this includes after school and in school events. This includes music performances, pep rally's, Theater performances, and the Winter and Spring Dance. That's all I have to say. I hope you find this review helpful.
