Quincy High School Reviews
Rating 3.97 out of 5 226 reviews
Over the past three years at Quincy High School, my emotions include all of the negative and positive feelings. The first year of high school, where everything should be a little more serious than my previous year is what I expected. But instead, it was the covid era where there are many sides of technology and education came together. I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, but it was just an experience that I hope I would never have to go through again. Coming to school with more chaos from racism has helped me realize that the leaders are not doing a good job of hiring leaders. However, us students coming together and fighting for our rights and freedom is something I never expected as it should already be there, but it wasn't. I felt the power in the crowd of students and that's when I realized and can guarantee that a lot of students here will do big and leads us to a better destination.
Visually, the school is very nice since it was rebuilt years ago. It's also super easy to navigate around due to the way it was built and how classes/wings are labeled. I've met a lot of really nice teachers who I loved learning from. Their classes are pretty easy, even their AP classes, but there are a few that are very challenging. There's a lot of great clubs to join. There is even a LGBTQ+ one! The cleanliness is not the best. I've seen multiple rats running around school many times. Most of the times, the guidance counselors aren't that much of a help, which is annoying. Next, I've witnessed cases of bullying and racism, yet the school doesn't do anything about. Ever since Black Lives Matter exploded in March, countless students have confessed their experiences with racism, yet there was no intervention or consequences from the administration. It's sad they only care about it now because it became a big thing. Overall, the school isn't that bad but could be improved.
I transferred to Quincy right after graduating from middle school, people here are nice, as long as you stick to your own crowd. At this school you can find people who have similar interests as you. There are also many different clubs and programs, not to mention the huge selection of electives, such as Fashion, Culinary, Auto, etc. Quincy high is a place where you can find yourself while also having fun. Quincy high is a diverse place for all minorities.
