    #1 Best Public High School Teachers in Hampshire County

    Senior: Incredible teachers, the most amazing experiences, and a very tight-knit peer group all make PVCICS an incredible choice for any student. There is a great deal of diversity of interests in the class -- students hoping to become neurosurgeons, fashion designers, experimental physicists -- and everyone brings a unique personality to the classroom. Because of the student:faculty ratio, classes are fairly small, so these personalities are each appreciated to an even greater extent!

    The IB program is also a hugely important aspect of the school, and it provides a very rigorous education that many colleges have a great deal of respect for.

    • Amherst-Pelham Regional School District, MA
    • 9-12
    • 150 reviews

    Alum: Amherst had a lot of opportunities for me to explore in the arts which I appreciated. As a student not involved much in the schools athletic department I was able to take many art classes including ceramics, 3-D Art, Photography, Painting. Amherst also has a great dance and intensive theater department. I got in involved with Theater sophomore and junior year the experience really allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone. Aside from the theater arts our schools efforts towards diversity and inclusion did not go unoticed. I took part in many dialogue trainings and mentorship programs working in an intimate setting with students from all racisl backgrounds to dicsuss equity and how to better our community. A lot of character building at Amherst High School which prepped my success at the University of Massachusetts Amherst once I graduated.

    #2 Best Public High School Teachers in Hampshire County

    Senior: PVPA is a very diverse environment, and instills a knowledge of social justice into every student. The arts-based education prepares students for thinking creatively and finding unique solutions to everyday problems. The faculty really does care about the students so much, and wants to see them succeed. The school has only relatively small issues that don't take away from it's better qualities. There is not an official college counselor for graduating seniors which would be beneficial if changed, but it does not in any way prevent seniors from moving forward.

    Bard Academy at Simon's Rock

    • Private School
    • Great Barrington, MA
    • 9-10
    • 3 reviews

    Alum: I really enjoyed spending time as a student in Bard Academy at Simon's Rock. Overall, I have to say the academics of the school are incredibly strong, and the program most certainly accomplishes its goal of preparing individuals for college in two years. Bard Academy offers opportunities you can't find almost anywhere else: the chance to have all of your classes taught by incredible professors, the privilege of having the full resources of a college campus and being able to speak with any college professor in any field about anything on your mind, and being able to take (admittedly up to two) college classes while in high school. My greatest frustration during my time in the Academy was the limit on two college classes; however, the program is quite young and is still evolving. As a result, the staff and faculty who lead it love to hear your propositions, and enjoy working alongside students to make things work best both from an administrative and an individual student's perspective.

    #6 Best Public High School Teachers in Hampshire County

    Junior: Life at BHS is pretty great. Of course, it's even better when more students participate in school events! Most teachers seem to legitimately care, and some are really excellent. Moreover, administration is so invested and dedicated that it really makes my day so much better. If you're lucky enough to go to BHS, make sure you make the most of your four years. There's so much to do and get involved in. High school's a lot shorter than it feels.

    #9 Best Public High School Teachers in Hampshire County

    Sophomore: Its a nice but small school. Overall, I've enjoyed it much more than I enjoyed any of my other schools. The teachers are great, and really care about their students and what they teach. The arts programs are ok, but the music and theatre department is very very subpar.

    #10 Best Public High School Teachers in Hampshire County

    Senior: It’s been pretty great. I decided to go for animal science and start fresh as I decided to not go to the regular high school in my town with all my friends. It was not easy to make friends at first but now that I’m a senior I have a few good friends that I enjoy my company with. I am glad I went to Smith Vocational!

    Alum: I enjoyed my high school career at Ware Jr Sr High School. I was very active and involved within the school community. I played two varsity sports, was the Vice President of student council and the National Honors Society. Being involved and balanced academically and socially definitely made me high school experience memorable. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA from taking several honors courses and AP courses.

    Parent: Great school. A couple teachers that lack "bedside" manner, but overall is absolutely wonderful.Teachers are great about staying after school with kids and giving them the extra help!
    There are so many clubs and sports and extras activities, there is literally something for everyone. My 7th grader loves the fact that she gets to play with the high school team and compete at that level

  20. Gateway Regional High School

    • Gateway Regional School District, MA
    • 9-12
    • 105 reviews

    High School Senior: Again, due to the small student population, attending school at Gateway Regional feels like I have attended school with family. The student body can't afford cliques because there simply isn't enough people to from definitive groups. In addition, the rural communities surrounding the school put distance between many of the students, so school is the one place where we can see faces from other towns. I feel everybody knows everybody and can't imagine having it any other way.
