My honest opinion about my four years experience at Harold T. Branch Academy Career and technical, Early college high school? I have to start freshmen year when I realized myself that this high school was the right high school for me, when out of nowhere someone did an act of kindness and zipped up my backpack for me when I didn't realize. Usually someone would steal from you if your bag was open like that back in middle school but in Branch, you can leave your phone, your laptop, your bag on a bench and use the restroom ad go get lunch and it will still be there. That's just the beginning, in most school, teachers can be very unsupportive of their students but in Branch, teachers and staff were willing to drive us to college or buy supplies for us when we needed it.
Students, either above or below you, will help you if you need it because you will need it, especially in college Algebra.
My experience in Branch, shaped me into a man who can have his dream into a reality.

I like all the clubs and diversity there is at school. The teachers are nice and some are really funny. We take classes that are for career readiness, and most of us start college classes with Del Mar College either spring semester of our freshmen year, during the summer, or fall of our sophomore year. A lot of students are able to complete most of their degree or get their associate's degree by the end of senior year. All teachers are ready to help when students ask for help. Unfortunately we do not have our own band, choir, or many sports team. We can take those classes at Del Mar College for those kinds of things. I haven't been to any of the games so I can't give my opinion on it.
During my four years of being in Harold T. Branch Academy have been great. I have been giving the oppportunity to take Dual Credit classes while being a High School Student. The teachers have been super supportive and are willing to give students the opportunity to learn in a safe and respectful environment.
