I love Brentsville high School. I'm a freshman and all the students there are friendly and nice. The behavior of the students are very good and our sports are pretty good also. The Cambridge Programme is very difficult and hard maybe even harder that the AP program. But it's really good for you.
Brentsville District High School is a pretty amazing school. I just came from a total preppy, gossipy, crazy middle school and Brentsville is such a relief from all of the pressure. The teachers are great and the kids are even better. All of the teachers are pretty laid back making Brentsville a fun environment to be in. Even though our football team isn't doing as well as we hoped for, the sports there are awesome. In addition, its academics are pretty great. This school is actually known for its outstanding scores. It is true that the math program is not that great but that does not mean that the people there aren't working on improving it; because they are. All of the History teachers are superb, same with the English department. The Cambridge programme may be hard for some but I feel it is definitely fulfilling. I honestly love this school.
BDHS offers students a lot of opportunities for sports and they have some very dedicated coaches. The new principal is very good. The assistant principals don't seem to be much help, other than being able to read policies from the manual and unwilling to think outside the box. The Cambridge Program is merely an end of course testing program that stresses the students out in May and June. Particularly those students who must also take SOLs and AP test in the same subject. They are slowly adding more electives; music programs are below average. There are some excellent teachers in social studies and science. The math department is deplorable and despite vociferous and numerous complaints from parents only a few changes have been made. It is extremely overcrowded with 18 trailers.
