Duxbury High School Reviews
Rating 3.81 out of 5 119 reviews
Duxbury is notorious for its ability to excel in many ways. We have a wonderful music department that is known nationwide and an emphasis on sports that have seemed to create the center of the school spirit. We have great facilities and are given many opportunities to explore ourselves. However, this is not what I felt at the school. I, and many others, have felt ostracized from this school community for being different. Most people I know have stories of being harassed, and everyone is aware of 'those' male teachers to look out for. My school is known for many good things, yes, but it is also known for its scandals surrounding the sexual harassment of students, antisemitism, and other forms of discrimination. Despite the severity of these issues, little was done to change them and I can confidently say the atmosphere is the same. These discussions are not being had in an effective way. This bigotry truly defines Duxbury and is resilient.
My experience as a Duxbury student is overall positive. I had mostly great teachers and absolutely amazing coaches, as well as very helpful advisor. Some teachers could update grades more frequently in high school. There are plenty of things to do and get involved including within the school, community, sports, clubs, churches, and more.
Duxbury High School is unique in many ways. This school contains both the middle and high school in one building, and for the most part, the layout is simple and straightforward. The building is located about 5 minutes away from the beach and 10 minutes away from the town forest. The programs offered here are fantastic, along with all the faculty and staff members. With food that is actually pretty decent, even with the 'pandemic menu', there's nothing to dislike about the school. Clubs and co-curricular programs offer a wide variety of interests, ranging from theatrical performance to aviation and ESports. Our sports teams are fantastic, and the agility and strength originates from an amazing weight room. There are after school programs for math, science classes cover topics ranging from physics to marine biology. It's truly surreal, and I owe my thanks to the adults who operate this well oiled machine. I would rate my school five stars because of everything it has to offer.
