[edit] History

Northbrook opened during the 1974-1975 school year to ease overcrowding at Spring Branch and Spring Woods High Schools. When a dwindling student population caused Spring Branch High School to close in 1985, Northbrook took in a number of Spring Branch students.

Northbrook was named a 1988-89 National Blue Ribbon School. [1]

In 2005, Northbrook received 'Academically Acceptable' as the Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating.

In 2007 Johns Hopkins University referred to Northbrook as a "dropout factory" [2].
