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.

Severely underfunded school. They put money towards sports but not education. The school keeps cutting teachers and lost an amazing school councilor because they tried to cut her to part time. They then received a councilor right out of college who messed up student applications for PSEO (college classes). This caused students to ;loose the oppertunity to recieve free college credits.

Some of the teacher seemed unprepared. There are some of them who are very passionate and good at their jobs. Kids all get chromebooks which does help for some classes, but there are definitely those who abuse them. There are good resources for things from art to sports. They don't have a facs class anymore, which is a disappointing. However they do offer ITV classes for things like foreign languages and sometimes math. You also have some options for colleges credit classes.

The parents at Braham are different in many ways. Some parents only care about their kids athletic performances and others only care about non athletic events. I believe that parents get to involved at Braham and maybe too involved with teachers. It is a small town so everybody know everyone. This can be either a good thing or a bad thing for certain situations.
