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.

Worst: high staff turnover and loss of longtime employees due to toxic district administration Best: good attempts at inclusion, diversity.

I remember a lot of individual care from teachers and staff put into the arts. The theater, art, and journalism teachers really changed how I felt about my years in school as a kid who often felt socially outcasted. As a student, bullying was not taken seriously on an individual basis and teacher biases on students were sometimes strong and affected my experience.

Overall my experience was pretty typical. I had some good teachers and some not so good. The campus is nice and has been updated. The sports are better than many other high schools in the area.

Our son went to Branham from 9-11th grade and then switched to West Valley Community College for the senior year as part of the 'College-Advantage' program. He graduated in 2017. Overall, our experience was mixed. Some Science AP teachers were clearly out of their depth while the English AP and Calc...
