Berlin High School
#13 Best Public High Schools in Hartford Area
Senior: BHS definitely does a great job of preparing students for college. I was recently accepted to Duke University and I know of recent graduates who currently attend colleges/universities like Harvard, Northeastern, and Boston College. BHS also produced successful alumni like Austin Stowell (who I have met!).
A majority of the teachers at BHS are very invested in their students' success and passionate about the subject they teach. Many of the teachers are also certified University of Connecticut instructors, so students have the opportunity to dually enroll in college courses during high school (from UConn level Spanish to child development).
For a public school, there are many opportunities in STEM, such as UConn/AP courses, guided independent studies, an active robotics team, and great lab experience. BHS also offers unique extracurriculars, from tutoring certification for its Writing Center to numerous baking classes.
Overall, BHS is academically and opportunistically sound.
