Summary

Brookwood High School in Snellville, GA, is a large, comprehensive public high school serving 3,803 students in grades 9-12 within the Gwinnett County School District. The school consistently ranks among the top traditional high schools in the state, currently holding a 4-star rating and ranking 58th out of 455 Georgia high schools.

Brookwood stands out for its strong academic performance across nearly every subject. In the most recent testing cycle, the school posted proficiency rates of 62.6% in Algebra I, 60.4% in Biology, and 57.9% in U.S. History—all well above district and state averages. The U.S. History score is particularly impressive, outperforming the state average by nearly 20 percentage points. Among nearby traditional schools, only Parkview High School approaches Brookwood's results, while the selective Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology (a magnet school) scores higher but serves a much smaller, non-representative student body. Brookwood also excels in graduation and attendance: its 94.1% graduation rate far exceeds the district (85.4%) and state (87.2%) averages, and its dropout rate of just 0.6% is the lowest among all comparable area schools. Chronic absenteeism (14.4%) is also below district and state levels, and has improved steadily over the past three years.

Brookwood demonstrates strong results across all student subgroups, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide for African American students, the 83rd percentile for English Language Learners, and the 75th percentile for Special Education students. The school achieves these outcomes while spending $11,889 per student—less than most neighboring schools—and maintaining a higher student-teacher ratio (18.3) than peers like Berkmar High School (14.8) or Central Gwinnett High School (14.2). Notably, Brookwood rebounded dramatically from a pandemic-era dip in 2020-2021 (23rd percentile) to a 5-star ranking the very next year, demonstrating strong institutional resilience. For parents, this is a school that delivers top-tier academics, exceptional graduation outcomes, and effective support for diverse learners—all while operating efficiently.

Open Quote What would motivate your band students to spell out "Coon" at a football game or any school event. I am from California, we have our racial problems too. I just mystified by the boldness of your students. Georgia is the same state that band Ray Charles from performing his art, but a lot student to perform racial hate at half time of a football game. Shame, Shame Close Quote

Open Quote Special Education is just an afterthought here, especially when compared to the programs in elementary & middle schools in the cluster. Many of the teachers are excellent but others are coaches who are more focused on their sports than education, the department chair is just phoning it in. Close Quote

Open Quote this school is the best. There are two middle schools in this district,Five Forks Middle and Alton C. Crews Middle. They are both great schools, but I went to Crews and it was the best middle school ever. I believe if you want your child to be succesful, send him to a good middle school and crews is the best.
