PART 1: If you are a parent considering CRLS and comparing it to neighboring schools such as BB&N I urge you to read through these reviews! CRLS offers notable arts programs and rigorous AP courses.The diversity in this school is great, with countless languages, and religions represented in our large student body. It is important to note though, that with this diversity comes challenges. Occasional instances of microaggressions, racism, and lack of forethought from administrators are some of the flaws here.The socio-economic differences are apparent, and friend groups while mainly diverse, are skewed more or less wealthy.We are politically active and kind, but like many high schools, bullying and online drama still exists. Note that pep-rally and football culture is low. Knowing the culture at places such as BB&N I am sure that Rindge is more accepting, but the academics and opportunities take more time to really take advantage of. Rindge has a strong relationship with Harvard.
Cambridge Rindge and Latin is a large school in the middle of Cambridge, Ma. There are over a thousand students with different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and religions there are countless opportunities at CRLS, for example, medical internships, engineering, dramatical performances, and abroad trips. It is a school that raises the voices of young students and not oppresses them. There are marches and protests that the school allows supporting and or join. The school provides free breakfast in the morning that is open to all and is healthy and beneficial to the students learning. CRLS has a separate cafeteria for those that are vegan or vegetarian. Everyone is allowed to practice their religion through clubs or school assemblies. Although CRLS is an open campus there are incredible and cable security guards, who do not discriminate or target people that look a certain way. That is why I rate Cambridge Rindge and Latin as a four out of five.
Cambridge Rindge and Latin School is made up of a diverse and vibrant community of students and staff. The school has so many wonderful teachers who truly care about the future of their students. Everyone is kind, and it is easy to make friends by joining clubs, sports teams, or taking advantage of the plethora of other extracurricular activities the school has to offer. Classes have a wide variety of levels, ranging from easy introductory classes to challenging Harvard University classes through an advanced program. The facilities at CRLS are in great condition, and almost every part of the school and athletic building look brand new. The school is always kept clean and tidy, and the administration is always quick to handle situations. Overall, Cambridge Rindge and Latin is better than most other schools in the area, because of the wide range of opportunities you will ecounter.
