Senior: The school is smaller, but accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. The counselors also help as much as they can with the students who aren't academically doing well. The teachers also have been open with checking in on students and their grades if they are slipping. Not only is the food consistent with the ideal nutritions to keep all of the students up for the day, we also have a miniature "convenience shop" (called The Pit Stop) where all students can purchase diet sodas, chips, and even smoothies or popcorn chicken. I personally favor the library though. It is a common space for the seniors, like me, who are taking online independent studies or are looking for a quiet place to study for tests and exams....

Parent: Bishop Seabury Academy provides rigorous college-prep course options in a close-knit environment. Their college advising resources are outstanding. Students consistently matriculate to premier schools in the the country. Instructors are extremely knowledgable about their areas of expertise, passionate about teaching, and genuinely care about the kids. The school recently underwent a major campus redesign and the facilities are amazing. My soon-to-graduate son can’t imagine having gone anywhere else. He has made lifetime friendships. You will not regret your decision to attend Seabury.... Read 37 reviews

Junior: My experience at Halstead high school has been short since I am a new student however, it is an amazing school with high school spirit. Although, they do struggle with some student support and how the school doesn’t know how to keep their students involved in their school and having low school spirit and dances aren’t as fun as they could be or how spirit weeks they could do more to make them more entertaining. So, Halstead is a good small town school with high hopes for each team but, could do more with school spirit and dances. Also, I love the scheduling and how it’s just like college and how we have breaks during the day and how we get the time to think and do our homework and how the teacher are relax and treat you like humans and not like students and give you time to do things during school and after school. I do suggest going to this amazing small town school.... Read 40 reviews

Senior: Newton High School is a nice blend of how the real world is while keeping a safe environment. Newton is a largely diverse town, but the school is mostly white. We have the highest number of Foreign Exchange Students in the state, which helps them see the western world of America, but also helps us learn and respect their culture. Things happen in NHS and that is undeniable but it isn't some false sense of security that is going to leave you stranded in the real world, or in college where things aren't always safe and proper. Newton High has provided me with a huge sense of reality that is very underappreciated by others that attend. I do recommend anyone in the area that asks if they should try the private school option, to send their kids to Newton High and share some of my experiences with them.... Read 185 reviews
