Brooke Point High School

We have 2students in different grades in BPHS and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Our opinion is that the education is average at best. Many of the teachers are not my ideal and a few, in my opinion, should not be allowed to teach.There are a few extraordinary teachers there but not many.There is a real sense of us vs. them at BPHS. It is my observation/opinion that when a teacher does something wrong, unprofessional or discriminatory the school and district Admins.will almost always take the side of the teacher over the child/parent. Parents of students in certain extra curricular teams/groups are afraid to complain because it may be taken out on the child in the form of not advancing them or not giving equitable play time for example. There is no real demand for student excellence as evidenced by the counselor who told our child "It's ok if your grades are poor, you can just go to a comm. college for2 yrs then go to a better college." Teachers/coaches are allowed &encouraged to play favorites among students. Parent input is frequently disregarded. Freq. fights among students,gang activity, teen pregnancy and lg. classes are problems. We would move if we could.

Brooke Point High School has excellent teachers and many hardworking and fun students. This school year, Brooke Point will be graduating its first International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates. The sports, academics and fine arts are among the best in the state.

I believe this high school has great preporatory classes. I felt prepared when I went to college after taking College Prep classes at BPHS. The teachers are knowledgeable, the staff is friendly, and the extracurricular activites are fantastic.

Really nothing special about Brooke Point. As a current attendee (Junior class of 2009) I find it lacking in extra curricular activities. Sure it has it's sports, but what about a better variety of clubs to suit everyone's needs

From a former student's perspective: the school has a decent academic program, but really isn't anything special. A lot of teachers leave for northern schools that pay more, and low funds for the county system result in teachers that are stretched too thin. Like any school, it has its phenomenal teachers and its terrible ones. It's not a bad school, but it's not great, either.

Brooke Point High School's motto 'as one' describes exactly the atmosphere that Brooke Point provides. Everybody at Brooke Point is a member of that family and the school decor has a very home-y feel to it. I wouldn't want my child to attend any other school in stafford county.

I truly love this school. The teachers actually called/emailed to inform me of my daughters progress. I am disappointed that redistricting is sending her to another school, but she was very happy with her year here.
