The Mountain Brook School System serves the city of Mountain Brook, a area outside of Birmingham, Alabama, United States. The school system supports a city with approximately 20,600 residents. The system was established in 1959 in order to avoid federal desegregation. The school system is one of the most segregated school districts in America. Educators and students have recently tried to implement diversity programming following anti-Semitic events working with the Anti-Defamation League, but the School Board cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League after hearing parent opposition.

  • The Mountain Brook School System serves the city of Mountain Brook, a area outside of Birmingham, Alabama, United States. The school system supports a city with approximately 20,600 residents. The system was established in 1959 in order to avoid federal desegregation. The school system is one of the most segregated school districts in America. Educators and students have recently tried to implement diversity programming following anti-Semitic events working with the Anti-Defamation League, but the School Board cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League after hearing parent opposition. The Mountain Brook School System has four elementary schools that serve kindergarten through the sixth grade. These schools are Brookwood Forest Elementary School, Cherokee Bend Elementary School, Crestline Elementary School, and Mountain Brook Elementary School. Upon completion of the sixth grade, students flow into Mountain Brook Junior High School where they attend seventh through ninth grades. The school system has only one high school, Mountain Brook High School, which serves grades ten through twelve. The school system has enjoyed a low rate of turnover in its leadership. In 2009, the system celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding and that year marked the hiring of Dicky Barlow, former principal of Mountain Brook High School, as only the 4th superintendent in the 50-year history of the system. There is also a private school, Highlands Day School, within Mountain Brook's city limits, but it is not part of the Mountain Brook School System. In 2019, Niche ranked the system the 24th best school district in America. In 2017, Mountain Brook Elementary was named a State School of Character, one of only two in Alabama to receive this honor. Schools that receive this recognition demonstrate a dedicated focus on character development. Newsweek Magazine recognized MBHS as one of the nation's top 100 high schools. In 2016, Mountain Brook Schools was named the international Outstanding District by the International Society for Technology in Education. (en)
