If someone had to compare Somerville Public Schools to a family- it would be extremely easy. The only reason that I did not rate my school 5 stars does not
relate to the fact that I don't deem them worthy enough but instead because I always think that there is room for improvement. I moved to Somerville when I was 6 years old, and since then, I have immediately felt welcomed and like I was a part of the family. The students are not only taught the knowledge necessary for living a comfortable life but are also taught the important life skills that are required for building friendships and life-long bonds. The teachers are trained to specifically help any and all students with any/all problems, questions, or concerns that they may have. Custodial staff and lunch assistants are always supporting and maintaining students well prepared. Principles and administration- usually thought of as intimidating- are inspiring and supportive! Somerville Public Schools really are my second family.

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.
