Brown County HS is a low quality educational environment that gets worse year by year. Many of the best teachers have fled, and some of the new ones they hired have either zero experience or no education degree whatsoever. The instructor for the dual credit Engineering course is a brand new college graduate with an engineering degree, but no education degree. The AP Psychology teacher has no experience, it's his first year. The lack of experience definitely impacted the learning environment. My child is miserable and frustrated. We've had to search online for additional resources. Following all the covid "virtual" education loss (because no teaching or learning was going on...just busy work with no instruction), this year was just another disaster piled on. Most teachers do not effectively utilize Canvas. So as a parent, there is very poor visibility on assignments, when anything is due, or even what grades have posted. Teachers are very slow to update the Skyward grade book, so it has occurred numerous times that in the days before the end of the semester, there is a big surprise, and what looked to be an A or B suddenly turns into an F because of missing work. Too late to remedy in most cases. Also of concern...Nicotine and THC vaping is rampant in this school. If you think you've got a "good kid who would never participate in this type of behavior", I can virtually guarantee you that you are wrong. The peer pressure and sheer volume of use at this school will put any child at risk. We are urgently looking to move before the next school year, in hopes of finding a school that can get our child back on track. We love living in Brown County...but unless you are home-schooling, don't move here.

My oldest started this current school year, and we loved it so much, my youngest was enrolled the second half. Both kids, and both myself and husband love it- the school, the curriculum, the attention WE ALL receive from the staff. They are all so accommodating, and consistently show they care. My kids both come home with their papers and projects daily. Whoever thinks the students don't have to work isn't paying enough attention. I am in healthy and consistent communication with both of my child's teachers with updates and help for any issues that arise. Love this school and am blessed to live in a community where everyone still believes that it takes a village.

My experience but most importantly my children's experience has been excellent .
