I would agree with a previous review indicating a high tolerance for bullying. Actually the bullying also comes from the principal as well as a few of the teachers. The principal ignores required documentation and caters to those who contribute financially. The MB School Board needs to be more aware of these issues and take appropriate action.

As a graduate of Mountain Brook within the past 4 years, I have quite a bit to say about the school, as well as the community. On the whole, the school is most definitely above average. The academics are great. Those who struggle receive help, those who already excel are challenged. The faculty is great for the most part besides a few teachers that have tenure and really should be let go. The number of AP classes offered is tremendous and the number of National Merit Finalist and Semi-Finalists is impressive. The administration is fantastic, and they really try to work with parents and students. However, there is definitely a sense of cliquiness amongst the students and fitting in is not the easiest thing and hinders your mental growth and development-- & your parent's pocketbook. Just note if you are looking for a homogenous, non-diverse, judgmental, upper middle class area, you will definitely find it in Mountain Brook.

My son was there for 7 & 8th grade and really thrived there. My husband's job moved us out of state & we now realize what a wonderful school we left. I feel like he really learned manners & respect that will stay with him forever.
