Brewer High School

Worst school that I have ever had the displeasure of going to for three years. THREE YEARS of constant bullying my other students AND other teachers! Disorganized, uncaring, and just plain terrible atmosphere! If it weren't for switching schools, I would not have been able to graduate.

The Teachers and principals really care! They provide the kids with the materials that they need to make it in the real world.

I graduated from Brewer in 2003 after 4 years of being involved in extra-curricular activities and strong academics. I am now a senior at Texas Tech and felt more than prepared for college. I went back to substitute teach in this district-where I, my mother and her father attended. I was somewhat appalled at the lack of motivation among the students. The school was in shambles (dirty, broken furniture/lockers, but there will be a new school in the Fall. I had extreme discipline issues with all grades that I subbed. I know the administration has changed and they have really cracked down on academics, but I feel that a more positive environment would motivate these students to prepare for college and careers. I had a great experience there and I wish that the current students could know that spirited strong community that made my four years of high school great.

I came to the district about 8 years ago. I have seen administration change, school board trustees change, awesome pricipals asked to leave... The school WAS awesome. More kids had school spirit, and took pride in their school. Now, they have take so many fun things away from the kids, and focus just on academics {what is they say about jack being a dull boy?!}...students have too much time on their hands & it takes away school spirit. This is a school that can be great!

I graduated from Brewer High School in 2003 and I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin. While there are a few flaws in some areas of the school, the teaching staff is not one of them. I feel that I was well prepared in high school to further continue my education postgraduation. There are many opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities whether they be academic, social, or athletic groups. I have heard that there has been a recent change in administration, so I cannot speak for or against them. What I can say is that whatever you put into Brewer High School is what you will get out of it. Much like any other school, if you show up and work hard, the school will do everything in its power to help students succeed.

I think that this school has a good education but it needs to have the teachers get more involved with the students. Also there is too much violence at this school.

I am so unsatisfied with this school, I wanted to enroll my child in the special ED program, but all the program offered was poor babysitting. exemplary should be applied to all the education programs not just regular ed. Ensure you visit the school and interview the staff prior to enrollment.
