Brookswood Secondary is a dynamic, community-oriented school that shines brightest outside the traditional classroom, offering unparalleled niche programs like its Equestrian Academy and television production studio alongside a solid academic core.
Editorial review summary
Parent and student reviews of Brookswood Secondary present a mixed but generally positive picture. Many praise the school's smaller, tight-knit community feel compared to larger Langley high schools, noting that it fosters a better support system. The specialized programs, particularly the Equestrian Academy, French Immersion, and the strong drama and band departments, receive high marks from families. However, there are recurring complaints on local forums regarding facility maintenance, specifically frequent bathroom vandalism. Some parents have also raised concerns about bullying and inconsistent teacher quality ('hit or miss'), though many highlight the dedication of the staff involved in extracurriculars and sports.

Common concerns
- Recurring issues with facility vandalism, particularly in student washrooms.

Who this school may fit
