HWHRS has been an okay school and district to be in. Teachers really make the school great, and their personalities and expertise are what keep me engaged and interested in content! However, a lack of diversity (racial, sexuality, religious, socioeconomic status) and somewhat pretentious school culture make it difficult for students to be themselves.
HWRHS offers good academics, including Honors & AP classes. Many staff members such as teachers & guidance counselors are very supportive in terms of helping students navigate academic success. Clubs and sports offer a great way for students to connect with others. Other than that, the school itself is okay-ish. There is a lack of diversity, although that isn't necessarily the school's fault, Hamilton-Wenham is just a majority white, upper-middle-class area. Drug use is an issue. You can almost never walk into a bathroom without interrupting a smoke-sesh or getting offered an Adderall. As well as party culture, hook-up culture, and reckless driving. Many bad situations that take place at school, including illegal activities, never get brought up to admin, and therefore are never properly addressed. HWRHS can be a positive environment, many students thrive and succeed both socially and academically here, however, it is easy to get lost in the negative aspects of the social environment
If you aren't an able-bodied, neuro-typical, cis het white individual, you probably will not enjoy this high school, and will not thrive here. Bullying is extremely present and never addressed, and academics are never catered to different learning abilities. Huge stigmas around being at all "different." Some teachers (2 in particular) should straight up be fired because they actively encourage students to be less intelligent and/or forward thinking. It was infuriating for many students to be smarter than their teacher and see their grades struggle because of it. Just makes zero sense. Also- the arts programs are dwindling more and more every year.
