Braintree High School Reviews
Rating 3.82 out of 5 307 reviews
Some amazing teachers and great clubs and programs, however, student body and administration does not always create the best environment for those who are different. Many members of the student body and staff lack basic human respect, especially when those who fall victim to their discrimination are present female, POC, or LGBTQ+. What's worse is that administration rarely holds these students and staff members accountable for their actions and sad attempt at promoting diversity have all been short lived, performative, and provided no actual change.
Outside of the tremendous social issues, the building itself is old and falling apart: old pipes, grey water, molding walls, asbestos in the ceilings, and suspicious smelling kitchen and cafeteria. The lunch staff are amazing but the resources and equipment they have are not sufficient enough to provide kids with CLEAN and nutritious meals.

Braintree High wasn't perfect be any means, or by any standards. The start of my junior year was delayed by a week because custodians discovered asbestos in the cafe. Our paint was chipped, and our mascot was a horribly outdated, offensive depiction. We noticed all these, of course, they were impossible to ignore. But unlike so many other high schools in our region our teachers and administration did not ignore our complaints. When the entire school walked out to show support for those faces racial discrimination, our principal didn’t punish us, instead they held a pride rally, and diversity training for all students and teachers. Braintree High taught me to not only celebrate my own differences, but to celebrate others as well.
While they offer many courses, not many electives are available. The facilities are falling apart but administration is always helpful and works towards fixing the issues decently fast. Overall, the school culture is pretty harsh and some of the teachers can be relentlessly difficult but Braintree High is ultimately a good school with many AP classes available to prepare you for college and push kids to work hard.
