I’ve lived here for 15 years, and grew up in Branford. Yea, there are trumpy Italians, we are not, but there are some very nice people here as well. My daughter is a junior in high school and we have had zero issues with any of her schooling, beginning with kindergarten. She is in all honors and ap classes and we like most of her teachers. A lot of public school is what your child and the parents, make of it. We live in Foxon, so it’s very close to Route 80 and 91. Anyways, the beach is great in the summer, lots of yummy places to eat, close proximity to other towns and New Haven, the library is adorable and has events for children of all ages, the rink is opening back up, completely brand new. We have little festivals, a nice farmers market in the summer, and of course, the airport, which I have used many times to go to Florida. Please do not listen to all the negative, we live in a diverse neighborhood where everyone is friendly. It’s a nice little shoreline town.
