This is a well run school. They also offer more AP classes than any of the surrounding schools. My child is in the band, and they are great. The band director is a strong disciplinarian, which is just what the students need. I would recommend this school and district to anyone moving to this area.

Brookhaven High is absolutely the best school in the area. It has a great quality of staff, and when I have my family, my child will be attending BHS.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Mississippi used the Subject Assessment Testing Program (SATP) to test students in English II, writing, algebra I, biology I and U.S. history at the completion of each course. Students must pass all parts of the SATP in order to graduate from high school. The SATP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Mississippi. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
