I graduated Branham High School in 2008, and am so thankful i'm out. Aside from the one teacher I had that actually cared about her students in the four years I attented, the teachers could care less about you. Ms. Barger is an amazing teacher who truely cares for her students, if she didn't teach there I would rate this school with no stars. I definitely feel like the teachers are on their own power trip and love being able to tell students what to do, just because they can. Now that I am in college, I couldn't be happier.
2009: Branham High School is an excellently rated school. It now has a proven track record showing continuous improvement in all areas such as - academic scoring; music department (has instructors now in both instrumenal and vocal music); parent participation with H&SC, Sprts Boosters, Music Boosters; has improved student leadership and school spirit participation; departments have consistent, excellent teaching staff; highly qualified, enthusiastic administration with longevity for school growth and maturity; the Royal Alliance Marching Band (marching band for the first time in 28 years at Branham); and consistent Sports programs and leadership. I would highly recommend BHS over and above, and at least equal to other schools in CUHSD.

The thing with branham sports is that the athletic director does not know how to get good coaches. He does not care for sports really. Many believe we should get a new one. Im also fine with the majority of the teachers but there are still some who i would not want to have

I am a senior at branham and quite honestly, I couldn't be HAPPIER that I'm graduating this year. Majority of the teachers here lack the ability to motivate students. There have only been a handful of teachers that i have come across that have been able to do this. The administration is...well...it's incompetant when it comes to providing necessary materials for classes. They lack the ability to spend money wisely. An irritating example: they spent money to place hand-sanitizers in each of the classrooms instead of buying necessary supplies for classes, like books. The students here are shallow, and they all lack motivation. Not to mention that the clubs here aren't that good either. While it is improving (albeit slowly), I still wouldn't want to come here again to learn. The departments that i found to be the strongest were the English and History departments. Enough said.
