I had a wonderful experience with Branford high school. I have been going to Branford since kindergarten and I have always had a wonderful experience. I loved how the teachers really get involved and help you where and when needed . I also really enjoyed the classes that I was able to pick from and the way the teachers taught the class. I really enjoyed the sports in high school. My favorite was basketball and track . I really opened up in high school and became more of a social butterfly getting into activities and church . I would choose to go to this school again and again because would not be where I am and who I am without the schools help and involvement. I only hope my children can go here as well one day.

Branford High school has taught me everything that ive needed to know for college in these past four years. I feel confident that if you're looking for a small town school Branford is your place to go. It's a great relaxed place where students can learn what they need to know and there is not much violence there.

Alumni/Parent. Great place for a tween/teen. It is a small town, so many parents and teachers have existing relationships. The "last name" advantage has been decried for 50 years but the names referenced change with each class, depending on which teachers have kids in school and which parents are in...
