This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

7/5/2025

Braintree High School is an educational institution where teachers are the only ones that care about the quality of students' education while administrators turn a blind eye toward unmanageable class sizes and the impact that has on learning. Our teachers truly care care about their students while our building is falling apart around us.

I wish there was more help with college preparations. I feel as though a lot of it was done on my own.

3.0 Junior

6/28/2023

Honestly, the bathrooms suck. They stink and are barely clean enough to use. The school food is also no exception of this either. Feel like military food. But the teachers are kind and the work load is manageable to a degree. Even if the school is shaped like a prison, it has decent people and students.

Im a student at BHS, I can tell you it is absolutely one of the worst school in the south shore. I’m not sure what the school does with it’s money but everything is outdated and gross. The bathroom is just plain out disgusting. They do not update anything! Just go down to the locker room and it look...
