    Parent: Our son is currently in the 2nd grade. He has been at the school for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

    Junior: I really like being able to meet so many people at Brannan and many of them are still my friends in high school. Sam Brannan has decent teachers and students. There are some issues with bad teachers and lack of discipline that the school should work on. The PE program is hard but it’s worth while and rewarding. I enjoyed my teachers and loved being able to be with my friends.

    Parent: This school is very dedicated to their students and families. Apart from the small class sizes they also offer great after school programs!! It is a Tk through 8th grade school which is also great for your children to build strong relationships with teachers and friends. This is also a Spanish immersion school so when your child enters he will learn to be fluent in Spanish in speaking, reading, and writing!!
