Sam Brannan Middle School

The best school I'm going to and I've been to. The school is a place to open up your self and be with old friends but make a lot of new ones in your two years there.

At Sam Brannan, everybody is so nice! The teachers are so understanding, and the staff is really helpful. Go wolfs!!!

This school, is fun, they have a fantastic music program where they have the best music teacher around! They also have great academic programs with Pre-ap, GATE, and tons others. There are so many electives too! Anime, TA (only for 8th graders), music, band, orchestra, computers, etc. This shool has great spirit and diversity. I promise students will have great memories, of awesome teachers,and students. Drumline,publications too,and a library with so many types of books that comes with a extremely friendly librianan. The staff members are cool too.With a school like this you'd be a fool to not indulge in it using the resources they have to offer. GO SAM BRANNAN!!!!!!!!!!!

I graduated SBMS 06-07. My experience throughout my whole 2 years were amazing. I met a lot of people and they're very kind. Although I disliked the fact that students here fight and cause so much drama. I love the staff and teachers, they're very motivated to teach their students and make learning easier, enjoyable, entertaining and fun. I love the mascot, Sammy. The GATE program was enjoyable as well.

I am a student at Sam Brannan Middle School... and it is almost impossible to put words to how I feel about the school. The leadership and wolfpack classes are amazing with not only helping the community, hospitals, and other schools. We students care about our school. And yes, I will admit that there are students that are lacking the essentials. But they continue to perservere because of the encouraging environment. The extracurricular activities are beyond amazing. For, Sam Brannan offers something for everyone. Whether it is a homework club or anime club. The sports are great aswell. I am a player on one of the sport teams and love the coaches and the support system for the players. Sam Brannan is amazing in every possible ways, and although there are challenges that our school is faced with, we are determined to work through them. Go to Sam Brannan!

Sam Brannan Middle School is pretty rad. Most of the teachers are outstanding, understanding, and caring. They truly do want whats best for us and they send us off to high school well educated and prepared. There are lots of fun and educational projects and opourtunies to work with friends. Even the most difficult of projects are made fun by the amazing teachers. Each lesson is taught carefully and explained in great detail for maximum understanding. At lunch times on Fridays, music is played, and during sprirt weeks, we have spirit competions. Uber fun! If you want your kid to have a awesome middle school experience, and learn everything they need to know to do well in high school, and also learn mandatory life skills, this is the school for them. :]

I love Sam Brannan because I feel so comfortable around the students and staff members. They listen to what I say and they don't straight off accuse you of doing something wrong. For instance, Ms. Lindahl, a new teacher this school year, wants whats best for us. She discusses topics with us during classtime and lets us all state our opinion. -Kelly Dang

Morale is not good, leadership sorely lacking, chaos and disorganization greeted returning students this Fall.

I'm happy to see that Brannan has recently recovered in most academic areas after going through radical changes in 2003. Their weakest link is their History department, which lost all their specialized teachers when the department was merged with the English department. Unlike the school's other standardized scores, the History scores continue to fall. Principal has a history of weighing in on the side of students and parents over the rights of teachers. Recent hires have focused on teachers with multi subject credentials instead of specialized credentials, creating a hybrid atmosphere between elementary school and middle school.

The school is very well kept. The teachers encourage their students to suceed in their work. Also the activities in the school make school more fun for the students! I was a former student and the teachers there are very nice! I think that compared to other schools in Sacramento, Sam Brannan is the best.

I personally think that this school was very benefical to the African American race. Sam Brannan made sure that they did everything in their ability to help stop on and off campus violence. Academically I felt like they pushed their students to succeed. They always seemed to want the best for their students.
