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 have had a very good high school experience at Branson High School. I am involved in many activities and have been successful when it comes to academics. I think the overall environment is good and people are involved with school activities. I think there is a good opportunity for everyone to be successful and teachers and administration are willing to help.

The STEM courses are taught by intelligent and passionate teachers. The theatre program is the best in the state.

Branson High School was a great school for the most part. Teachers and administration really showed their care for the student and their success. However it was very focused on the upper class kids.

Academics are marginal but consistent with rural southwestern Missouri standards. Zero diversit...
