The school is very strong academically and the music program is stellar. The marching band is a tremendous source of pride. The athletic department is extremely weak and the leadership here is lacking. The sports programs are not developing and growing like they should given the excellent talent. Improvement here is desperately needed and would make the school a perfect 10
My two boys previously attended an elite private school in another state. We were not sure whether or not their experience at Briar Woods would measure up to their incredible experience in the other school. After one year at BWHS, I can affirm that this school lacks nothing in overall educational quality from the boys' previous school. The teachers are all highly-qualified and professional, the administration and guidance counselors are very helpful and responsive. And something very unusual for northern Virginia, the school is very safe. My only concern is that a small handful of teachers at the school are from other countries and have thick accents which some students say they have a hard time understanding. But if multi-culturalism isn't your cup of tea, don't move to the DC area!!
I am a student a B.Woods and im about to be a sophmore. I really like it, everyone is nice and i dont feel like its hard to fit in. We are pushed really hard in academics and there are alot of great electives and clubs offered. Its a really safe eviroment and the teachers are pretty cool. I would definitely recommend Briar Woods to anyone moving into the area simply because its a really good school.
Excellent school! My daughter loves it and after she had to move so many times due to job change its really nice to see her settle into such a good school and her grades are great.
