Great Brook provided the most amazing middle school experience for our son. As everyone knows, middle school can be a brutal time for kids, but the experience at Great Brook is different. We moved to the area when our son started 6th grade, and the students and staff at GBS were so welcoming, it really made the transition easy for him. He made friends on day one and the teachers and staff all remembered him from when he toured the school the previous spring. He is graduating 8th grade this year and has achieved more here than at his past schools. The curriculum is amazing, they really try and round out each child's education and have a variety of "specials" like home-ec, industrial arts, and more. The sports programs are inclusive and well-rounded, with a variety of sports offered all three seasons. Every single person working in this building is passionate about helping kids and it really shows. I cannot recommend this school enough!!

As a parent who has had multiple children go through ConVal, I can confidently say this school provides a "choose your own adventure" style of education. Whether your child is aiming for university or looking to enter a skilled trade, the resources here are genuinely impressive.The Region 14 CTE (Career and Technical Education) Center is a standout feature. It’s not just elective classes; it’s a professional pipeline. Students can graduate with industry-standard certificates, making them career-ready on day one. My own children earned certifications and college credits through the CTE program, which gave them a massive head start in life after high school.For those on a traditional collegiate path, the AP courses are robust and offer another fantastic way to stack college credits while still in high school.The award-winning German program is arguably the best in New Hampshire. It’s more than just language credit; it offers students the life-changing opportunity to travel internationally, broadening their worldview in a way that stays with them forever.What truly sets ConVal apart is the culture of partnership. The administration and teachers don't just lecture; they partner with parents and students to map out a future. I’ve been particularly impressed by how they handle challenges. Even when kids "aren’t doing the right thing," the staff works to help them find their way back on track rather than just writing them off. It’s about growth, not just discipline.Safety is a top priority here, and the addition of a School Resource Officer (SRO) has been a positive move. The SRO provides a steady, safe presence that allows the kids to focus on their studies without worry. Furthermore, I have been deeply heartened by the school's huge effort to support social-emotional health. They recognize that teenagers today face unique pressures, and the resources put toward mental and emotional well-being show that the school cares about our kids as people, not just test scores.If you want a school that balances high-level academics with real-world career training and a supportive, safe environment, ConVal is an excellent choice.
