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.

Brandon Middle School is awesome. They help kids that need help and offer ways for the academically advanced kids to be pushed, which they need. There are many clubs and activities to be involved in. The school has wonderful parent and community support. My kids were there for 8 years, and we had to move. The new school doesn't even compare. BMS is very over crowded. That's the only downside, in my opinion. It is a wonderful school.

The building is just old and worn out. The library and lower classrooms flood and grow mold. Also neither me or any of my friends even knew the counsellors or ever went to them. There are also few advanced classes so we were all put in the same one and were either struggling to keep up or waiting on the rest of the class.
