GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Braden River High school is a good high school to go to. Personally, I would like to see some change in the school culture. It would be good to have pep rallies or that sort of thing. There just doesn't seem to be that much school spirit at Braden River High School.

Overall I loved my time at Braden River when it came to finding forever friends and helpful teachers I can go back to to this day. The academics were so good and got me to where I needed to be today and the sports were amazing to be apart of on and off the field.

Overall a good school with no major problems. The teachers are generally good at what they do. The only problems are the honors level and regular version of classes tend to be the same thing, and at the start of every year management tends to be very disorganized for about two months.

I currently have two enrolled, one a senior who attended all four years and one soon to be completing his freshman year. I have zero complaints. My students have had better experiences with some teachers than others, but isn't that itself preparing them for life? Learning how to deal with and succee...
