    1 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Alum: Phenomenal teachers (with 1 exception) and a very homey and personalized experience. Classes are small, the teachers are knowledgeable and flexible, and the students are mostly interesting and motivated. The activities are well run. I gained a lot from this school and owe them a ton (particularly Mr. Regele).

  2. Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School

    • Public School
    • Hadley, MA
    • K-12
    • 5

    Alum: First off, as a recent graduate student from PVCICS, I can only give my review on the high school.
    The school has fantastic teachers who are extremely willing to help the students to learn. They also put in a ton of effort into making sure the students are doing well in the IB program. The IB coordinator is extremely organized with years of experience in IB prior to teaching in this school, which helped my class to navigate through the IB program with minimal confusion. The only thing the school doesn't have is the space and a cafeteria. Other than that, the school is fantastic and I highly recommend it if you want your kids to learn chinese as well!

    2 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: My favorite part about Sturgis is its academic rigor. I went here for a challenge, and I sure got what I wished for! Its prestige and advanced nature was perfect for my own personal life experiences. I always want to improve on what I'm learning, always want to be one step better than I already am, always looking for the next obstacle ahead. I definitely recommend applying to this school if you are someone who has a thirst for knowledge and are willing to put in the effort to get there.

    Senior: The academics at Weston High School are very rigorous. The faculty/teachers provide a lot of support for students with their schoolwork, and there is a good student help center. The students can be a little cliquey and unfriendly at times.

    4 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: Lincoln Sudbury is a very competitive school in sports and academics. This school does an excellent job preparing its students for college and has rigorous curriculum. Recently some events has shown flaws in this school's administration. Hopefully this will change soon. Lincoln Sudbury seems to be moving in an even more competitive direction and with that, school culture is falling due to the added stress. Diversity is pretty fair here, since the METCO program brings in students of color from the Boston area. Overall, Lincoln Sudbury is an excellent school in a great town, students are grateful for our town's public school system.

    6 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: Concord-Carlisle High School prepares its students extremely well academically, but poorly socially. The school and its faculty are extremely focused on promoting high grades, and the students typically meet these expectations, but often at the cost of individual mental health and wellbeing. The diversity of CCHS is extremely subpar and the students will quickly realize this once they step out of the Concord/Carlisle bubble.

    8 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Junior: Academics: variety of classes (History thru Film, Python, Urban Gardening, Biotech, Ceramics, Contemporary Issues Facing Global Economy), good academic rigor w/o overly competitive environment, many AP options, even CP isn't that shabby

    Teachers: knowledgeable, some are excellent teachers, a few teachers suck at teaching. Teachers also offer extra help sessions after school

    Clubs: Harbinger (newspaper), Sachem (art and literary magazine), DECA, Model UN, 15-40, HOSA, Tri-M, Bee Keeping, Broadcasting, Anime, Quidditch

    Food: decent, they do try to vary the menu + sometimes have ethnic foods.
    Lines: hot sandwiches, main menu, deli, pizza, salad, grab n go, Corner Cafe
    Recommend: chicken nuggets, pizza, baked potato, soup, pretzel, cookies

    BUT we aren't called the Pharmacy for nothing. Don't use the bathrooms unless you have to bc you will run into drugs + we are NOT diverse - if someone tells you we are, they're delusional
    (also we aren't the most technological, if you're into that)

  13. Wayland High School

    • Wayland Public Schools, MA
    • 9-12
    • 122
    9 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: I am a current senior on my way to graduate WHS. In my past four years as a student at Wayland, I have seen many changes, majority of them positive.
    The reason why WHS is not getting five full stars from me is because although there's only so much a school can do, Wayland is not doing enough. To its credit, WHS has been moving in positive directions, but there are students that NEED extra attention and aid, such as specialized teaching styles or classes. For some courses it's taught cookie-cutter style, and if you don't understand the concept, you're out of luck. You're going to do badly. On the other hand there are teachers that understand their students and realize no one is the same in learning habits, organization, or motivation. Some teachers take into consideration our lives OUTSIDE of school, at home, at practice, and more... And it's these teachers that make Wayland better, and will only improve it over the upcoming years.

  14. Westford Academy

    • 229
    10 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Alum: Westford Academy did an amazing job at preparing me for college in the aspect of academics. The English program stands out the most to me. I had written three papers in high school that were over eight pages long. When I went to college, most people I met haven't even wrote one paper that length while in high school. This allowed me to put my attention towards learning new topics and studying more challenging academics, instead of stressing over how to write a paper. I also learned how to act in a professional setting, mostly through help from guidance councilors. The guidance councilors at WA were extremely hands on and put tremendous effort into making sure the students felt comfortable and confident with their futures ahead of Westford.

    11 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: Needham High School cares about each and every one of their students. The staff and administration prepares us well for college and is deeply involved in our search for higher education. I am grateful for the staff on how they help us every step of the way in finding what to do after high school. This is only a small portion of the incredible things the high school does for their students. Not only do we learn information in our academics, but we also learn real-life lessons that will carry on with us for the rest of our lives. One class they offer that does this is Personal Finance. It teaches the students how to manage their money and be responsible, which many schools do not do. By offering this class, I am able to learn skills to use outside of the classroom that will greatly effect my knowledge on finance.

    12 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: BHS has been a great school, but still has its issues. The culture has allowed students to speak out against issues that are important to them and the school. The current headmaster truly listens to students concerns and knows everyones name! The rigorous workload has prepared me for the work to come later in my life, but can also be over kill especially when it is busy work. Teachers should focus less on giving an assignment, but focus on an assignment that really has meaning.

    13 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: My WHS experience has been excellent. I often feel as though I am still a freshman, looking at the school through rose-colored glasses, admiring its quality resources (its large library, multiple studying areas, and recreation centers) and feeling secure inside its walls. From university visits it is clear WHS is an efficient preparatory school. The advanced courses have discussed themes so relevant to society I am assured that WHS will be important all my life. WHS perhaps lacks diversity and diverse perspectives; however, in the past few years I have noticed a direct effort to diversify its environment through ongoing presentations called Courageous Conversations, which I attended, that invite guests to address formerly difficult subjects, such as anxiety, depression, and LGBT rights, all of which are highly important to me. Overall, based on my views of both Westwood and other school districts, I would rate WHS among the best quality high schools in the state.

    Senior: The things to do hear are numerous and there is a family-like bond all around campus. With the right set of teachers, your educational experience can be an amazing one. It is certainly an academically rigorous place if you choose to make it. Homework is a little on the crazy side but I hope that will change school-wide soon! Oh! And there’s unfortunately no pool...

    Junior: The school is diverse in terms of interests, and there are clubs or organizations for everyone. There are plenty of options for classes and the teachers are really supportive. There can be a lot of work in most classes, but teachers are always there for extra help, and resources like writing lab and math lab are super useful. Kids from this school tend to be competitive, especially in academics and sports. I'm not involved in sports personally, but I hear there are a lot of great teams. The music program is great, but the art and drama programs could use a little more support. Overall, it's a great school, but the community really isn't for me.

There is something for everybody at Oliver Ames, and its faculty are always willing to try something new and consider every idea that each student brings for a club or after school activity. Each teacher is involved in at least one club or extra curricular, and there are so many opportunities that each activity brings. Oliver Ames has truly provided me with plenty of opportunity and has brought out my passion for music and performance more than anything with their highly recognized music department. Although the school does lack diversity regarding the students, the faculty members are all extremely accepting and the administration has made sure to not tolerate anything different.

The class sizes are relatively small, with ten to twenty-six students in each academic class. There are a lot of amazing teachers who take an interest in their students. The course load for honors and AP classes is typically a lot, and for CP classes, the load is much easier.

    Senior: Sharon High School is overall an excellent high school that focuses on college readiness. Although its courses can become quite difficult, the structure is there to help you reach a greater potential as long as you are willing to work at it as well. The students are overall a friendly bunch. The school spirit however is quite weak in comparison to the strong academics. Whenever there is a Pep Rally or sport event, the student body never seems to show much enthusiasm to support the events, for what reason I do not know, but it is very clear. It is a very liberal school, so if you enjoy that type of environment, then you may fit in well!

    Senior: Rising tide is a very community oriented school with a lot of growth to continue with. As a senior graduating in the fourth ever graduating class from rising tide I feel immensely prepared for college. The road to graduation was not easy and was one with many bumps but through determination and sheer will power we completed the heavy work loads of school works and graduated. The teachers at risin tide are young and extremely enthusiastic about teaching and just overall helping the students. The sports programs at rising tide although they have grown are still in the process of becoming as developed as other High Schools, however, the girls soccer team has a wonderful coach and a great team atmosphere and they have been extremely successful. The girls varsity soccer team has made it to states 4 years in a row and although they have not yet cinched a state title they continue to work and grow as both a team and a family.

    Senior: The school has great facilities, teachers, and academics. The teachers themselves, are interested to come to work each day, most make their classes engaging and they are always willing to assist a student who needs assistance. After school help is also offered Mon-Thurs for all teachers. Tri-town, which Masco services, is a rich, white community, so the diversity in the school is rather lacking. The high school itself is about 97% white. Many os Masco's sports teams are excellent, attending and winning state and even national championships. The school has a wide array of clubs and activities offered and there are electives made available to students with every interest. The school is very safe. There is always law enforcement on campus during school hours and emergency services are close by.
