This school is solely comprised of special need students and people from Brewer who can't afford the tuition to go anywhere else. Sending schools like Orrington and Holbrook send only their special needs students to Brewer. Brewer is very welcoming for these students but not for anyone else. If you're not special needs, expect your classes, especially AP and Honors to be cut back to accommodate more sections of "conceptual" classes, which, in reality, are poor excuses for a high school education as a result of their elementary level. Having seen this level of education first-hand, it's no surprise that less than half of Brewer graduates are proficient in English and even less in math. To surmise: go to Brewer if you want a solid special needs education. For everyone else, go somewhere else.

Bullying was a big issue at Brewer High. Wish there were more options for "fine arts" classes. Basic courses, basic athletics. Basic school.

I graduated from Brewer High in 1971, live out of state now, went back last summer for the first time in 15 years and can not understand why they still have that OLD SCHOOL after all this time I don't know when it was built but it's been there a very long time. Brewer is a pretty large community and there is no excuse why they have not built a better school, certainly folks pay enough for taxes?? No need of it very sad to see that!!!
