Why Brookwood High School Continues to Stand Out in Gwinnett County

For families looking at homes in the Brookwood High School cluster, the school is a pretty compelling part of the story. Located in Snellville and part of Gwinnett County Public Schools, Brookwood High School currently holds a 9/10 GreatSchools rating, with GreatSchools noting that the school performs above average compared with Georgia public and charter schools serving the same grade levels. It has also earned seven College Success Awards, most recently for the 2024–25 school year.

The numbers coming out of Brookwood are impressive. The Class of 2026 had 967 graduates, including 345 AP Scholars, 45 Dual Enrollment Scholars, 418 Honor Graduates and 184 students graduating with a 4.0 GPA or higher. Brookwood students received nine Ivy League offers and more than $33 million in academic and athletic scholarship offers.

Academics are just one piece of the package. Brookwood offers a broad mix of AP and advanced coursework, and the school reports that its students pass AP exams at rates well above the national average. Students can also participate in programs ranging from Ag-STEM and robotics to theater, music, international studies and more. In fact, Brookwood’s VEX Robotics team and Odyssey of the Mind teams have advanced to the World Finals.

For families looking for a school with a strong extracurricular culture, Brookwood has plenty going on there, too. The Broncos have a long history of state championships across sports and academic competitions. In the 2025–26 school year alone, Brookwood had two state championship teams, three county champions and nine region champions, while 40+ student-athletes signed to compete in college sports.

Brookwood is also a school with some serious history. It opened in 1981 and has grown into one of the largest high schools in Georgia, with a longstanding reputation for academic achievement, athletics, fine arts and community involvement. Its motto, “A Tradition of Excellence,” feels pretty fitting.

For homebuyers, schools are always just one piece of the puzzle, but when you combine Brookwood’s academic reputation, extensive extracurricular opportunities, college-prep programs and strong community traditions, it’s easy to understand why the Brookwood High School cluster remains such a sought-after area for families.
