I went to this school. In my experience I had witnessed many things shooting threats, bomb threats, and so much more. This school is absolutely awful in my opinion. I had a teacher once yell. “I hate this class!” This school with mental health they say they’ve “done better,” but I don’t believe it at all. Students tend to bully a lot not to mention. I was bullied my entire time there, and I spoke up about it before. They did nothing to help out. If your kid is popular you’ll be fine they don’t get targeted from what I’ve seen. Now another thing, there’s been times when I felt so uncomfortable at that school that I’d cry in class. The ALE classrooms were the only people I saw that truly accommodated students. This is coming from a student who was in the club “Friends Having Fun Club!” They treated the kids good. But, overall if you want your kid going here you do you. This is just my experience being there for all three years.

I would not recommend William J Brennan High School based on my experience as a parent.My daughter has an IEP, and I do not feel the school provided the communication, meetings, or support that should be expected for a student with documented educational needs. As a parent, I should not have to repeatedly seek answers or feel ignored when it comes to my child’s education and safety.I also have serious concerns about the overall school environment and student safety. There have been ongoing concerns involving drugs and safety issues, and I do not feel families are being properly informed or reassured. Parents deserve transparency when there are serious concerns that may affect their children.In addition, my interactions with the front office staff have been very disappointing. I felt dismissed, disrespected, and not treated like a partner in my child’s education. It often felt like the school was more concerned with appearances than addressing real concerns from parents and students.I strongly encourage other parents to ask detailed questions before sending their child here, especially about IEP support, safety procedures, drug-related concerns, parent communication, and how the school responds when families raise concerns.Student safety, respect for families, and proper support for students with IEPs should be a priority every day. There have been drug-related safety concerns, including an incident involving a student medical emergency/overdose in a bathroom. What concerned me even more was the lack of transparency and communication with families afterward. Parents deserve honesty and timely information when serious incidents happen on campus. NO GO SERIOUSLY.
