Freshman: Prep is an amazing school and gives an educational, athletic, and social experience of a lifetime. It is very challenging but all the teachers are there for you and the school gives you so many resources to succeed. The reason I did not give it 5/5 stars is for two reason : a mediocre science department and the fact that it is all-boys. Not having girls around is pretty rough. The school has an amazing buffet-style lunch and we have champ titles in almost all of our sports. Our dorms need improvement, but at the moment we are building a new boarding facility!...Read 59 Reviews

Sophomore: I'm currently going into my second year at Seneca High school and I'm ready to get started. After my freshmen year I already learned a lot and have a clear idea of what I want to do in college and after. Seneca helped me with deciding, and provides good classes that help with my career. They do as much as they can for the students to help with whatever they can. Teachers here are always supportive and will talk to you about your needs. I like Seneca High School because I can feel safe and get a good education with help from others. Change in my highschool hasn't even crossed my mind. The administration is great and provides many opportunities for the students, whether it's ap/honors classes or extra curricular activities. It's a great school and I know I'm lucky to have these opportunities...Read 53 Reviews

Senior: What I like best was the different opportunities to take part in performing arts. The music and band programs were great. Yearly plays and musicals in addition to band concerts fed the desire to perform. What I would change would be an addition of more clubs.

Parent: I have one alum and two middle schools sons at Lowell. The younger two started in Kindergarten and the oldest in third after attending our local public elementary school. Although my sons are completely different, Lowell has managed to understand and bring out the best in each of them. My oldest, the quiet introvert at public school, was completely brought out of his shell and is now a confident 10th grader. Lowell taught him self advocacy. My younger two have been encouraged to use their over abundance of self-confidence to boost other children up. Thanks to Lowell, they are empathetic leaders. Lowell has helped me parent my boys to be their best selves -- confident yet kind, thoughtful and public-spirited. All of that PLUS a leading edge curriculum that allows them to easily attend the top public and independent high schools in the city!...Read 13 Reviews
