I like how small the high school is. Everyone knows everyone, and the teachers are all welcoming. Students who go to larger schools tend to be more nervous and intimated by the student body but here at Somerville, the population is much smaller. This allows everyone to take an interest in multiple clubs, activities and sports without it being overcrowded with people. However, I do wish that the school had more opportunists such as DECA or FBLA. With Somerville being a smaller school there are less opportunities. Leaving out these core programs can lessen their chances in college applications.
Somerville high school is a great school. The school offers a variety of classes as well as clubs and entertainment events to choose from. The SHS community is very welcoming and friendly. This school is always willing to help anyone with anything. They are always happy to help with any information. We like to help our community as well as work hard and achieve big dreams and goals. The school policy offers a great and safe environment. We an be the one's u for hard work and time to focus as well as ready for a healthy party. The school offers a variety of school celebrations for awards and ceremonies as well as events for more information about the school for incoming freshman's, parents, and information for graduating seniors and colleges.
Overall Somerville high school is a great public school. As a 2012 graduate I can say that my experience at this school was a memorable one. Is it the best school no, but it is absolutely a school I would allow my kids attend. There are plenty of extracurricular activities for students to be involved in, and plenty of resources that allow students be successful inside and outside of the classroom. The current online method of viewing students grades daily is also very effective and allows parents to view students grades and activities on a day to day basis. The cafeteria food isn’t the greatest but that isn’t to big of an issue as upper class men are allowed to go out for lunch and have plenty of food choices. There also seemed to be some politics involved with sports teams , but that was over 7 years ago hopefully that has changed.
