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.

At North Branford High school it’s easy to learn because some teachers make it so inviting, but it’s also easy to feel unwelcome there. As long as you have solid friends who relate and accept you.

5 out of 10. Kids can be mean due to the small town. SPED administration is terrible but there are some great teachers who truly make a difference.

I just started college at Yale today, I found how helpful it was that i went to NBHS for my choice of school because it really prepared me. Disregarding the negativity- North Branford High School was a great school for me and lots of my other friends could agree as well.

I think what the freshman and sophomore students below me said is ridiculous. They probably just hate NB because of their own personal drama problems. I'm a senior and I have always found North Branford to be one of the best school districts out there. I think a lot of people complain about the town...
