Brownfield High School has shown some strengths, such as a high 99.2% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.1% dropout rate, both of which are better than the state averages. However, the school's test scores on the STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams are generally below the state and district averages across all subject areas, except for Biology.

However, Brownfield High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that the school may face systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

by a student
Monday, October 1, 2012

Open Quote I am a recent graduate of Brownfield High School and unfortunately I did not receive a proper education. There were few teachers who did care about educating students; however, a majority did not. I had male teacher who preferred his athletes over the rest of the class. I would work hard and turn in all my work but still received lower grades than his athletes. When I confronted him about the situation he would make up excuses such as "Oh, well you didn't turn this in." or "You're missing this paper for my class." None of his statements made any sense since we rarely ever did work in his class. All we ever did was watch movies/videos on youtube or just sit there doing nothing while he sat behind his computer doing nonsense. My B in his class (which should have been a A+) affected my ranking in the top ten percent. Also, many of the teachers cannot control their classrooms. They get lost in irrelevant chatter or give the class a narration of their life stories, turning the learning room into a soap opera episode. I took an anatomy and physiology class last year expecting and desiring to learn so much; however, as always, I learned nothing. The teacher was always gone and never left us any work to do; and when she was in class she was just so disorganized. She was a good teacher, but just got very distracted and off track. For those four years I attended BHS, I don't recall learning anything in any class except for my english and physics class. Props to you Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Burris! Besides those two teachers, no one is really worth a crap at BHS. I do not recommend anyone to attend this school as it will affect your child's education. I am currently a college freshman pursuing a degree in biology. It is difficult to learn things in college that I never received the basics for. I am disappointed to say that my high school years were kind of a waste at BHS. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!

Sincerely,
Struggling College Freshman Close Quote
