Briar Woods High School Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 458 reviews
While I missed out on the traditional freshman experience due to the challenges posed by COVID, my overall high school journey has been positive. The quality of teaching has been a mixed bag, with some teachers standing out positively, while others have left room for improvement. I believe that there is potential for enhanced support and more engaging teaching styles among some faculty members.
One area where I feel the school could improve is in offering more diverse and interesting elective courses. Additionally, the dual enrollment options could be enhanced for a more enriching academic experience. Despite these areas for improvement, I appreciate the positive aspects of my high school experience and remain hopeful for continued growth and enhancement in the educational offerings.

My journey at Briar Woods High School has been transformative. From the moment I stepped through those doors, the atmosphere and diverse community embraced me. The academic rigor, although brutal and a testament to many sleepless nights, challenged me to reach new heights, fostering a love for learning that I carry with me today.
As I’ve creeped closer and closer to graduation, ive recognized that Briar Woods has not just been a place of education; it had been a safe space for me to express myself creatively and challenge myself acadmeically. The memories of laughter, challenges overcome, and the shared victories became a cherished tapestry, woven into the fabric of my adolescence.
The tight-knit community, diverse opportunities, and unwavering support at Briar Woods High School have prepared me not just for the next academic chapter but for life beyond the classroom.

Overall, the school is great. I have yet to see any real serious incidents take place. Compared to my middle school (in a different county), this place feels so clean. Everybody is pretty nice and there seems to be a lot of trust. For example, I could leave my phone out with no worries. The teachers are pretty good besides like two total and the quality of education is neat. I think I am pretty prepared for college thanks to the rigor and habits brought upon by being in the different classroom environments.
