    #2 Best School Districts in Middlesex County

    Senior: When I came to valley from another school district I was welcomed with open arms. I was very nervous and scared to go into a complete different environment. Coming from a catholic school into a public school, I look back now as a senior seeing how silly it was. I consider everybody there my friends and I have many. The teachers here at valley prepare me for college and to start a new chapter in my life. They prepare all the students here for ever endeavor that a students path may take them. I know from my experience that the teachers drive you and get the best out of you. I can’t enough about how the school is and how being at the school with it teachers and academics prepare me for future success. It a home away from home...Read 3 Reviews

  5. East Hampton School District

    • School District
    • EAST HAMPTON, CT
    • 13 reviews
    #5 Best School Districts in Middlesex County

    Junior: As a student at East Hampton High, I have both good and bad things to note. I think one of the best, most defining, things about EHHS is the positivity that is both spread and promoted. I was put in a difficult position like so many other high schoolers around the world to navigate around the COVID-19 pandemic as a teenager. East Hampton High School made the experience a breeze and I'm very thankful for that. Obviously, teachers have their own teaching style which differs, but the administration did their best to accommodate and they excelled. Keeping us updated, remaining optimistic, and making the best out of a poor situation are all things that EHHS do well!...Read 13 Reviews

    #6 Best School Districts in Middlesex County

    Parent: My kids go to John Lyman and one at CRHS. Lyman is a HOT school with ID program: very arts and music oriented. Talented, passionate, down to earth teachers, many live in town. Many special instructors for individual help in specific areas for kids in regular classes. The best school you could ever send your kids to on a public school budget!...CRHS sends off many students to very good colleges. Safe area, school is near historic Main St. The food served in the cafeteria is reportedly best in state. No spoiled snobs here, mix of middle class/working class. Technical school and parochial schools nearby...Read 11 Reviews

    #9 Best School Districts in Middlesex County

    Senior: East Haddam School district is a small district. There are a lot of different course offerings at the high school. East Haddam doesn't have the strongest sports programs and we have a small pool to pull from. EH isn't the most diverse population either. I think it's prepared me for college and it's a safe environment for students to attend school in...Read 4 Reviews

    #10 Best School Districts in Middlesex County

    Senior: Throughout my time in the Middletown Public School system, I was always challenged and pushed to learn more or do more. There are excellent clubs and sport teams to participate in and lots of classes to help you get ready for college. There were a lot of AP courses which helped me get a feel for what a college type class might feel like. I think that Middletown Public Schools did a great job helping me with my education and getting me to my college...Read 33 Reviews

    Randolph-Macon Academy

    • Private School
    • FRONT ROYAL, VA
    • 6-12
    • 125 reviews

    Senior: Randolph-Macon Academy is an amazing school. There’s no doubt about that. Its excellent Air Force JROTC program taught me what it means to be a true leader and to learn and respect everything our military does for this country. ...Going to a boarding school did seem scary at first, but you are guaranteed to make great relationships in the dorms. I was very shy when transitioning from a small Middle School where I knew everybody. While this school was a lot larger, I still made many lifelong friends by participating in the school’s sports and intramural opportunities...When I say the school prepare you for college, it certainly does. Just the fact that this is a boarding school already prepares you for out of state colleges. The military aspect further solidifies your capability to be organized and have proper etiquette. I cannot stress this enough that this school prepares you for real life!...Read 125 Reviews
