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.

It has been very on and off being an underclass was the best years of my high school journey freshman and sophomore year the worst parts is the fights especially one where a boy got stabbed in the boys bathroom cause they had a fight for no reason it's ridiculous the teachers are okay but some of them are a little too much the bathrooms are barely ever cleaned or have any toilet paper both girls and boys the best part was the friends I've made their pretty cool very weird but so is everyone else this school is not so bad yet a lot of things need to change for the better the students have a lot of good ideas but the grownups don't really take it into consideration that much the classes are very easy some of them a bit hard but I manage the clubs are good I don't really know what else to say about Brandon except that it's not so bad as it seems but what I want to change is the environment no fights, clean bathrooms, library open everyday, better teachers and overall just going to be good

Horrible. There are fights weekly, I have trouble going to school almost every day, and the school bathrooms stink.

I love this school; however, I think this school could be so much more inclusive than it is now. If you are not on the baseball, football or cheer team, you really have no say so in how your school in run. I think these coaches could allow different types of students to help. Not play on the team but be allow to be a part of something. Feel like they are included in what brandon stands for.

If you fail your grade they tell you they offer options to help y...

This school has taught me well. I took about 20 AP classes and was top of my class. This school taught me excellence and how to grow as a person. My 4 years at Brandon have been terrific and I would do it all again if I could. I'm currently in my freshmen year of college, and I couldn't take Brandon...

I was a student here for 4 years, this school failed me as a student. I succeeded in almost every way I could've- I was an honor roll student all 4 years, I took AP courses, I was a varsity athlete, I was involved in multiple clubs and programs, I even wanted to start my own club dedicated to making...
