Graduated recently from Quincy Upper school, Overall a great diverse school that takes college readiness very seriously. The curriculum for this school is IB and so far the teachers have done a well job at maintaining the course guide. Staff and faculty are very welcoming as they look forward to students coming down to learn. The location for this school is amazing at it resides near Bostons Downtown and Chinatown with easy accessibility to the Orange line and Silver line.
I enrolled here for high school and although I had mixed feelings about my academics, I appreciate my learning experience and everyone that I've met to get me where I am today. I wished my school was more difficult/ helped us to prepare for college but at the same time, the students and classmates weren't as entirely motivated and that may have had an effect on the teachers too. They're doing their best by coming in every day, early in the morning, and teaching us, and wanting us to succeed. Thanks to them, I was able to go to college with a full scholarship and want to continue my education in the medical field by applying to school.
My experience at Quincy Upper school was one I’d do all over again. That’s the one place I could call a home I found a family there from the administration to the students and till this day I could still check in and reach out. Although we never had our own gym, sports teams, and luxurious things as other schools did Quincy Upper always made use of what we had and always protected each other.
