As a parent, I experienced a supportive environment with a comprehensive curriculum and excellent teachers. My child was well prepared for college from an academic and SEL perspective.
Five years ago, I would have given Medfield Public Schools an Excellent rating. Teachers are very dedicated, but have increasingly lost their voice in the current culture where no one dare say a word about what is best for students out of fear of retribution. Decisions are made from the top, with little meaningful input or influence from key stakeholders. Task force, advisory group and search committee recommendations have regularly been overridden, so few people are motivated to participate anymore (unless they want to win points with the administration). Student voices are also silenced. Many of the best teachers/staff have left, and it has become increasingly difficult to keep staff in the hardest-to-fill positions, especially special ed. There have been comments (first-hand and second-hand) made about a toxic working environment.
The academics is pretty good, with different options suited for different students. One thing that I'm not sure why is the case is the fact that AP courses are only offered for upperclassmen. It would make a whole lot more sense if they were also available for underclassmen, as it limits the amount of AP classes a student can take. The environment at the school is generally very competitive, creating a stressful environment to surpass your peers. Sports are the big focus at the school, so if you don't participate in one you're pretty much an outcast.
