Great Brook School

As the name implies, this is indeed a great school with the vast majority of staff excellent and dedicated. Both my sons came through in great shape.

Terrible school no time, money or effort are put into this school. I'm moving this year and I'm pretty glad.

Completely agree with previous review. My eldest child graduated GBS 7 years ago and had so much more opportunity than his siblings. The school is totally non-competitive and has two tracks....special needs and everyone else. My son tested at high school and college levels in both math and language arts in 6th grade...but the school fails to provide and honors classes; or to even offer individual advanced work within the classroom. Thanks to the advice of his 6th grade instructor (who is one of a handful of 'rebel' teachers who actually do challenge the children at this institution), he is in an algebra correspondence course. We are considering a private school for his final year however, due to the weak academics. I feel this is, in large part, due to the school's principal as our 'sister' middle school in neighboring Peterborough, NH has both stronger academics and sports programs.

Great Brook was a superior school 7 years ago, unfortunately, administration has lost it's interest in the general student body and has focused mainly on special needs students. High achievers are held back in this school to make sure that non-college bound students feel equal. I had 2 children attend for 7 years. The high school compensates for the high achievers delay.
