Our daughter started Briarwood in 9th grade after years of a gradual deterioration in public school. Wish we had made the switch earlier! She feels and is successful now; she's on top of things, we don't have to remind her to do anything, she does not require any tutoring, she has developed friendships, and she is doing a sport that she certainly would not have done in public school. She is getting a traditional/typical school experience at Briarwood, which she was not getting in public school. Highly recommend!
