This is an excellent middle school. Now during my second year of college I look back at my time at…read moreBrannan and I regret nothing! I came to know my best friends to this day at Brannan and for that I am thankful. Many of the teachers that I had during my time there are still there to this day. They are great teachers and amazing human beings who made my transition from elementary school to middle school so much easier. I visit them every time I can. The GATE program is also excellent and I recommend it. Enrolling in this program also makes it easier to get into a more advanced program in high school as well. My sister is about to graduate from Sam Brannan this year. There is no other school I wish she would have gone!

My kids have attended this school for 5 years so far and I haven't had any real complaints. The…read morestaff work with the parents. The principal is amazing. The teachers, principal, and even non-educating staff members remember the names of each student and even parents. They test their students for GATE as well as placement levels, and actually help work with the parents and teachers to get curriculum that best suits that student. The teachers here understand that each student is just a child, and that each one is different. They even have their own teacher-run after school enrichment programs and tutoring that fill up quickly. There is also an after school program that runs til 6pm I believe. We did have one issue with one teacher being a little demanding but we had some mediation and got everything worked out.

Mrs. Eagan and Mr. Zarate are invested in the students learning. They care about their progress and check in with students on how they are doing. The counselor Mrs. Dubrinski is awesome also. She is in tune with middle school students and what they have to face being in that "middle stage" not an adult but not a baby. If you want a school that cares about their students and will challenge them Cal is your middle school

Parents have spoken to principal(s) and staff and they said it'll be taken care of and they're on top of the situations but they don't do anything. They give false hope about the situation and they just let the bullies keep bullying. Money keeps the world go round over at that school. Not morals. So as long as you keep giving them money they don't care about anything else.. Such a shame.. God bless.

I was optimistic I would love this school: the campus is charming and the administration, faculty…read moreand community felt warm... at first. The administration acts very supportive and caring, but frustratingly does not follow through on their commitments for school and student safety, especially if it goes against big donors, legacy families or faculty members who are dishonest, incompetent or in complete denial. Parent community is very political and cliquey with several individuals publicly expressing discriminatory views as if its the norm. As a Christian, I hoped for a supportive school community aligned on positive values, but instead felt like this school belonged in Stepford and that I was in the twilight zone.

From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.
