Wilbraham, MA•
Parent: We chose WMA for its strong academic reputation noted for intelligent, caring faculty, a wonderful curriculum and diverse extracurricular activities but ended up getting far more! Our impression is that WMA somehow magically selects talented students from caring families creating an amazing student body full of smart but thoughtful human beings. This community quickly becomes a little family where the students support each other & feel cared for by faculty. WMA definitely has something for everyone. Not only was our son exposed to a vast array of Sports: Rugby, Water polo, Football and the Arts: Music/Theater but a myriad of other wonderful things. Most importantly though is the exceptional student body. It’s a nice balance between a “Mini United Nations feel” & Local Community Vibe blending perfectly students from this rural New England area and from across the globe. We were fortunate to host many students during breaks and now have lifelong friends throughout the world.... Read 98 reviews

Works Here: As a contractor working with the school to set up a state of the art indoor air quality protocol to protect their staff and students, I have been amazed at their caring and unselfish approach to the upgrades on campus. Their investment in the health and wellbeing of everyone on campus is a model for all to follow and I am sure they approach all aspects of operating this fine institution in the same manner!

Alum: My experience at Cushing prepared me to navigate the real world; it’s not the best school and it’s not perfect, but it’s the right fit for a lot of people and the teachers care a lot! The sports are usually taken seriously and I believe the focus on keeping resources evolving and prioritizing a strong sense of community for students can make or break a HS experience. overall I am glad I spent most of my HS career here....

Senior: Throughout my time at Belchertown High School, I participated in the lacrosse team as a JV player positioned as attack. I participated in the Humanities club my freshman year, but slowly fell out of it to focus on my academics. I built relationships with my teachers and enjoyed conversations with them. I liked that Belchertown High School felt inclusive during the prep rallies and enjoyed the memories spent there. As a senior, I look back on my time at the high school and feel that I was apart of a community.... Read 193 reviews

Senior: Lighthouse has Changed my entire perception on learning. For the first time in my life im excited to go to school and want to be there! The teachers are so supportive and find a schedule and or classes that work best for you! They’re so flexible to change and empathetic to kids who are having a rough time. I get to design my own courses and decide my own schedule completely. There are some things i miss from “regular” school, things like dances, sports games, etc. However id much rather enjoy my time at school than just the social events that come with it....

Freshman: I enjoyed (mostly) my time at ND. The teachers and administrative staff were (mostly) great people, the food was quite good and the chefs work very hard. The electives are always diverse and good. However, the academics were severely lacking. A few teachers didn't teach at all, and some simply knew next to nothing about their subject. There were a few gems, who were great and taught well. Many students failed their MCAS due to the fact that nothing was being taught. A few had to self teach. In conclusion, if you are going to ND for behavior issues only, you are in good, if strict, hands. (Or if you are in middle school.) If you are in high school and need to learn for tests and college, this school is not reccomended.... Read 1 review

Parent: Exceptional! After a number of discouraging school experiences, we found Sparhawk. Our primary concern is having a safe, inclusive, caring environment - Sparhawk absolutely provides a level of attention AND intention that goes above and beyond. They have navigated the COVID situation with transparency and concern, providing resources and focusing on the needs of our children. The curriculum draws from diverse sources, providing robust and engaging project-based learning. The school has a progressive set of values, a credo, that reflects the values of the school and the community it strives to create and maintain. When our child has struggled, he has found multiple outlets for support, from his classroom teacher all the way to the head of school. I feel confident he is learning to to strive and grow because he feels cared for and listened to. He is a neurodiverse 2e kid, and no other place has been able to come close to meeting his needs with as much grace and skill as Sparhawk.... Read 22 reviews
