Great School. This institution has its goals and priorities in place. It offers a wide variety of courses that lead to professional opportunities such as internships and summer employment.

My son has been a Young King since August 2019 and boy do we make the right choice. This school is about commitment to the Young Kings and their families. The admin, care team, and teachers are dedicated to these young men and want to see them do well. It honestly feel like one big extended family! If you're trying to finalize where your young man will attend High School, please give Ron Brown a try and I promise you won't be disappointed.

The opportunities here are designed for the black young male to grow and flourish. They allow you to make mistake and actually learn from it instead just yelling. Ron Brown has so many connections. I have been in meetings with Apple writers, people who work at Netflix, Tyler Perry Studios, Department of transportation, NBC Sports and the President of Howard. Ron Brown does a lot of college trips. I have went to Howard University, Morgan State University, Lincoln University and Townson University. They make school very fun. The teachers deeply care about you. There is no other school where the teachers drop you off at home, pick you from your home, drive 2 hours to a basketball game to support students and there is no other school where your teacher will pick you and go to Starbucks and just chill and talk. I love my classes. In my Argument writing class, I am learning how to connect my real world experiences through my writing. Also, in my class we dig deep into black art and culture and the subdivisions of black culture. In my Broadcast journalism class, we learn the importance of black representation threw media and the news. In my AP World History class, we talk about and learn about the battles black people and Chinese people went threw to get where we are now. In my Financial Algebra class, we are learning how to write checks and how to budget and save our money the right way. -10th grade president Ean Bowie

This is more than a school experience. Ron Brown is a place where young men of color can grow and develop in a safe space. Social Emotional Learning and Culturally Responsive teaching along with rigor are the key components of the curriculum. To be a part of Ron Brown is to have voice, equity and familial community.

Ron Brown College Prep High School is a one of a kind school. It provides a great environment for young males of color to learn and grow. For the Young Kings that attend, this is a place that feels like home. The staff truly care about the students and serve as mentors beyond their roles. The students are prepared and challenged not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Graduating students are more than prepared for college, the workforce, and to face life challenges. I would highly recommend this school for any young boy of color.

There are many great schools in Washington, D.C, but Ron Brown High School is more than an academic institution; it is a place where you will be loved, challenged, and prepared for manhood. The culture of the school sits upon a upon a restorative justice culture where students, also known as Young Kings, learn the importance of decision making and how their choices impact them and others.

As one of the newer schools in Washington, D.C, Young Kings and families have the opportunity to shape and guide the school in a direction that works well for all students, despite the racial and economic inequities that puts Ward 7 and 8 communities at a disadvantage.

If you are looking for a place to call home where you or your Young King will be held to high academic expectations while simultaneously be groomed into manhood; look no further.
