Watertown is a good school district overall with good academics and student participation in extracurricular activities. Teachers are also consistently very helpful and caring. The only issue is the inconsistencies between the schools in the district. For example, the middle school has a far superior cafeteria and food options in comparison to the other schools. Also the primary and high school have heating and cooling while the elementary school and parts of the middle school have no air conditioning in the summer months. Lastly the role of the administration is very different at the schools, with the middle school suffering the most from the lack of communication with parents and unnecessary changes to scheduling and separating students.
Watertown Public Schools has provided me with many opportunities to better myself as a student and person. They provide a welcoming environment to all students and provide equal opportunities to everyone. They have created amazing learning environments and carefully choose staff who are helpful, caring and all around great people.
I specifically am interested in the numerous course options offered at Watertown High School. Students with various academic abilities can find the perfect placement for themselves. The courses offered really allow students to explore their interests and help them diversify in what they might want to pursue in college and later on in life. However, Watertown could definitely have more school spirit and a better student atmosphere. Frequent pep rallies, dances, or any student related gatherings could make the high school experience more enjoyable.
