Senior: Concord School district is a large school that offers many opportunities for students to grow academically, strive athletically, and find any club to participate in to meet any student’s interests.

Senior: Overall, Hopkinton High School offers good classes that can help you prepare for college or a field you're interested in. I've enjoyed most of my time with the teachers I've had, and many of them try their best to give you the best learning experience. If I could change anything about HMHS, I would ask for more classes to be offered, as there are many science-related courses that are not available. I wish for the school to eventually run on renewable energy, although this is something that parts of the student body are currently working on. This is also quite a small school, so it's not hard to notice how little of diversity there is. Other than these aspects, I have enjoyed most of my time at the school, and I have had a great experience with sports teams that I have joined as well. This is such a small school, however, it has some of the best sports teams in the state.... Read 19 reviews

Senior: I really loved my high school. I was a transfer student freshman year and I was very nervous to start at my new school. However, I was given a friendly welcome and a great education. I first hated the fact that I had to move away from my old school but I realized that life at this school was probably much better than it would have been at my old school education wise. I was challenged but given the opportunity to still be able to succeed. I am very happy with my school, my teachers, and the people I've met there.... Read 14 reviews

  Rating 3.69 out of 5  42 reviews

Senior: I have lived in Milford all my life, and I can say with full confidence that the Milford School District deeply cares about their enrolled students. Throughout my years, significant changes have been made and are continuing to be made, to better the education from what we had years prior. The excellent education and devoted teachers make a significant impact on the daily lives of the students. Many students form personal bonds with their educators, from which the educator visually is always concerned about their students’ well-being. The educational system at their schools also provide limitless opportunities for each and every student that walks through the front doors. I have had a phenomenal amount of support from my educators who have encouraged me to exceed my limits, and follow my aspirations. I can safely say the confidence that has risen in myself, as well as my academic progress, is all a contribution from the Milford School District.... Read 42 reviews

Senior: I greatly enjoyed my experience at Manchester Central High School. I always got a strong sense from my teachers that they enjoyed teaching and were happy they were able to teach at Central each day. Being located in a city, and taking in kids from nearby towns has created a very diverse group of students that attend Central, which I have certainly valued becuase a diverse population brought in a share of culture, perspectives, and ideas. The students have a great sense of community. Our academics are very diverse, sending kids to Ivy League schools at least every year i've attended. The guidance and administrative staff is helpful and always goes above and beyond to be helpful. There are so many options for clubs and sports. All of that combined makes Central a very well-rounded school full of opportunities. Because of that each student there has a great sense of Central Pride! I do not wish I could've gone to any other high school!... Read 101 reviews
