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.

I love this school, the school spirit is great and we see a lot of involvement from unique people with unique interests. The school has a boatload of fun opportunities for students, however it does miss some key facilities that could help. Overall little complaints with the school.

I have met some amazing friends at Braintree High but also have met extraordinary teachers and staff there as well. They will help you in any way you need and want you to succeed not just at school but also outside of school. If I had to see change in our school it would be with the building itself. It is very outdated and needs upgrades to not just improve the building itself but to help further each student's education.

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

Looking back on the experience now, however, it was a wonderful school and I was given the opportunity to have a top notch education at a public school. AP clas...

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 I’m not sure what the school does with it’s money but everything is outdated and gross.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...
