Parent: Both of my sons have had a phenomenal experience at Williston. They are both motivated students who have loved the combination of support and challenge that exists in the academic program at Williston. My older son will take his first AP class next year, and he is excited to take on that level of academic rigor. He is also involved with the arts, where he has loved his experience in the theater program. All the faculty members he has worked with have been incredibly supportive and have encouraged him to get out of his shell and try new things. He also loves the in-town location - his favorite spot is La Veracruzana (great burritos), but he also has taken advantage of takeout sushi, Pok-eh bowls, and plenty of Mt. Tom's ice cream! My younger son is more involved in the athletic program, and he has found the same level of support. Currently, he aspires to play two different sports in college, and he has received an incredible level of skill training and competition toward that end.... Read 119 reviews

Senior: My experience at Northampton High School has been a good one for sure. We have excellent teachers, especially in the history, science, and music departments. Everyone is very welcoming and accepting. It's about everything you want in a high school and has a wide spectrum of class offerings from AP to regular. Smith College is also close by and you can take some college classes there. My only complaint would probably be the grading policy which was implemented last year (2021) called standards-based grading. It makes it pretty easy to get really good grades without trying too-too hard.... Read 149 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.

The robotics program and general dedication to STEM is top notch. There is an outdoor garden, community commitment (students help clean the bike path etc.) and lots of innovative teaching.

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

I am into technology and 3D printing, and my teachers have always been welcome to integrate my fascination in these areas to support my academic learning. Because this is a small school, individualized support is always available. I did not give all 5 stars because the school is open and I am sometimes concerned about safety.... Read 11 reviews

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!... Read 10 reviews
