I am currently a student at Browne i am in my 3rd year here and feel as if it is not fofilling the high school experience that it should be. Not many kids are involved, not many students want to do anythnig. We have great teachers who motivate and encourage. They help many student's out, but then we have terrible ones. This school feels like a charter school, there are only a handful of students that participate in the school activities. Our Prinicple Mr. Arenas is making such a huge diffrence. If you want your student to experience high school and not just attend Trevor is not the place.

I attended Trevor G. Browne High School for four years and graduated 2007. I was actively involved in clubs, especially Student Government. I felt that administrative support was very lacking. Many ideas were turned away and when school spirit began to wane, we were the ones to blame. Security is also questionable. I did not feel as safe as I should have. The teachers however were very good. They were supportive and understanding. I learned very much from the teachers I had. The school has some changes to be made.

I attended Trevor Browne graduating in 2000. The one thing I would say that Trevor Browne lacks is administation support. I was in one of the clubs on campus and we rarely had any help or support from the front office. We tried many times to approach the office for assistance and we were just turned down. That is no way to encourage teenagers to stay involved with the school. Many of the teachers were awesome and very caring. I respect them for sticking with that school over the years.

i think Trevor Browne is one of the best schools! the teachers and the principals do their best to make sure students go to class every day. The counselors are awesome they do what ever they can to make the students comfortable going to school. TGB also have one of the tops scores in the AIMS testing. That has got to tell you something about our school.

I think having your child involved in extracurricular activities is important and give them a group to belong to in a school as large as TGBrowne. My daughter entered as a freshman in Marching Band and become friends with people across the grades and it was very helpful to her.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
