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 really like being able to meet so many people at Brannan and many of them are still my friends in high school. Sam Brannan has decent teachers and students. There are some issues with bad teachers and lack of discipline that the school should work on. The PE program is hard but it's worth while and rewarding. I enjoyed my teachers and loved being able to be with my friends.

I was a student for two years at Sam Brannan MS. Not only did I have a terrible experience there socially, but also academically. I'm just going to say that not all the teachers were willing to actually teach, and that they obviously had favorites. I'm not saying that it was all teachers but it was...
