Lunches are free and all the schools are in one general area. I like how the school is centered in the middle of our city so anyone whether they live in Pawtuckettville or South Lowell, they can all get access to our high school. Not only that, but our high school is also very large, with a student body of over 3,000. A problem with the large population though is the student to faculty ratio. The ratio is undocumented but for every teacher you can assume there are at least 20-23 students. Another problem I have with the Lowell Public Schools is their poor decision matrix. Sometimes they make decisions completely against those who vote and won't even take student opinion into consideration. Lowell Public Schools makes decisions for us changing the way we go to school without consulting how the students may feel about it. But overall the school system runs smoothly with little to no errors. Except for heating and cooling issues.
I only attended for my Senior Year at Lowell High and even so, it was all online. I enjoyed all of my classes but I did not make or have any friends. Nonetheless, my teachers were all nice and reasonable. I would say a good change would be to hire more diverse teachers and staff. The diversity in teachers definitely do not match the diversity in the students. More than half
of my teachers were white.
of my teachers were white.
The community is very diverse. Here you will find people with all kinds of backgrounds and cultures. Lowell High School is very big and has lots to offer. Ranging from sports like field hockey, to golf, and performing arts such as theatre and dance. Overall had a good time and met some great people.
