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.

My overall experience with Bruton High School is great. I surround myself with positive and hard working people that push me to do better. I play varsity volleyball and that community is amazing. Bruton also has many class options to choose from.

We have 2 kids at Bruton this year - a senior and a junior. They have gone each year. We haven't been 100% of the time because of Covid. The amount of time we have spent actually inside the building has been positive, and my kids would much rather be at school than work from home online. They missed out on a lot but are making up for lost time now. It is a great school.

Bruton was a welcoming and diverse high school with extremely dedicated teachers. However, being an underfunded public school results in poor facilities and opportunities. Bruton provided the best opportunities they can to students, but administration has some serious improving to do.

Bruton is the great hidden secret in my opinion. It is small and very family like! I love that the teachers know my children and our family. They care about the students! They also can try almost every sport or extra curricula due to the small number of students.
