Brooks School

Brooks is a college-preparatory co-ed boarding school, founded in 1926, in North Andover, Mass. It has a student teacher ratio of 5: 1, 19 AP classes, and about 350 kids (70% boarding). The school has 13 sport teams that rock the ISL, and especially the rivaling Governer Dummer school. As with any other New England prep school, Brooks students can be found throwing frisbees around campus, sporting Polo, Lacoste, and Lilly Pulitzer clothing, worshiping Dispatch and Dave Matthews (or Mike Jones and Paul Wall if a resident of Thorne House). Brooks students rough rigorous academics, athletics, and long, hard days in order to get a diploma from one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country and move on to well reputed colleges.
