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.

Braxton county has never felt like anything but home. and our school embody's that. we're family. the teachers, the students, everyone. we are all family. where braxton falls short is sports, we don't have the tallest nor the biggest boys so it's hard for us in football. what we are good at is wrestling we thrive in that area

Mostly I really enjoyed my school and most of the teachers. We have a real school spirit and I was voted Most Sprited of my Sr Class. It's the administration and back stabbing among them that I believe needs change for the future success of the school that I love!
