#1 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Senior: I absolutely loved MAMS! The teachers were kind, but there was a lot of work. Ultimately, I think that MAMS brought out the potential in me as I was motivated to work harder from friends and teachers and stop doing the minimum to get by as I had done for my sending school. Overall, great experience 10/10 would recommend!

Senior: Sturgis is a great school for a cornucopia of reasons! Whether its from the open-hearted community, to the down to earth teachers, Sturgis has been amazing to me and I can't imagine what high school would have been like if I attended somewhere else.

#3 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Senior: LS is the perfect High School! The faculty care about the students, the classes are interesting, the workload is manageable, and the activities are fun. I was part of the LSB Players (Theatre) when I went to LS, and the productions are high quality and the group is fun to be around. As a student who took the highest AP leveled classes in every subject, there were times I was stressed about completing all my work, but I always got it done. The teachers are always available to help you, and there isn't much competition among the students to be the top because we don't have class rank.

#5 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Sophomore: As someone who was not challenged at all in a public school, AMSA has tested my skills and allowed me not only to learn at a faster pace but also urged me to be engaged and interested in my learning. I love the challenge, and I have found myself excelling in subjects I was previously uninterested in! However, the workload can be very overwhelming at times. It would be nice if the school could find a way to preserve the challenge of its courses without placing unnecessary stress on its students.

#6 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Alum: I am a 2018 graduate of CCHS and after completing one year of college I have realized how toxic CC was for me. People focus so so much on academics and doing 100 extracurriculars so they will get into ivy league schools. People are extremely stressed to the extent that mental illness is very common. Almost every one of my friends either had depression or anxiety and I believe the school environment contributed to that. The classes are challenging which is good but college is much easier than any class I took at CCHS. There is so much emphasis on taking AP classes to the point that students will only take them just to compete with other students. Overall, CCHS has wonderful academics but the school has a toxic culture. Either you are a student who cares a lot about your work or you skip classes and barely graduate.

#7 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Junior: Brookline High School is a pretty large high school with many different academic opportunities. This school really is what you make it, like most faculty there say. There are two levels of every class, and some have three or four. The most difficult part about that though is that there is a large gap between the standard and honors classes. Other than that though, I really have enjoyed my experience at Brookline High School. They have a relatively strong performing arts program and a very diverse range of classes for those specialties. Personally, I have enjoyed their photography and ceramics classes the most, but they also have many cooking, engineering and arts electives. There are also a lot of emotional and academic support systems in place for any student that wants it, but you have to be assertive to access them.

#8 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Senior: I like Weston's academic system, they tend to teach very important information to get us prepared for college. I am in the metco program and have been since kindergarten. Going into Weston High school has helped me a lot to prepare me for the real world. The teachers in high school do not chase you when it comes to homework, projects, and etc to be done, that is all on you. I like how Weston is very serious when it comes to the requirements of making sure we graduate. You could be the worst student in the whole school and yet they make sure you graduate because Weston wants to see you succeed.

#9 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Alum: This was an extremely great high school. It helped me prepared to college, and dare I even say, being in college now is easier than being in high school. Teachers and advisers are really supportive and are always there to help. I didn't do this, even though I should've, but seek help when you need it! There are tons of clubs and opportunities for you to make friends. There are even programs to help students look for internships. I really regretted not taking advantage of that because I was scared of my incapability. Everyone in this school is treated equally, so don't be afraid to dive into unfamiliar grounds.

#10 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Junior: I love Lynnfield High School. Every teacher I have genuinely wants me to succeed as a student and a person trying to navigate my way into my post-high school career. The teachers are all smart and know what they are doing; they are also more than willing to help me when I am confused, and they are always available after-school when I need to ask them questions. I have also made some great friends at Lynnfield High School, and I feel welcome and a part of the school culture. I am part of the student government for my junior class, so I am also excited that I can help represent both my class and the school culture. Overall, I am glad to be a part of Lynnfield High School!

Parent: I love this schoolbecause there is a lot of structure and discipline. They care about the students and hpw they excel. This is one of the best charter school there is out of all the charter schools. If you want my opinion my daughter who came from a BPS school of 4 yrs transferred to this school and is doing much better than how she did in the Public school. I feel BPS schools are to lenient with their student.

#11 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Junior: I really love the teachers here. They all really encourage your learning and make you actually want to be in school. But most of all, they are relatable and know how to connect with me. While the administration is difficult to deal with at times and they definitely dictate a lot of the decisions at the school that the student body does not approve of (we can’t wear any t-shirts for example with any logo or writing on it), I think they are what made me stay here for my high school years!

#13 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Freshman: Nauset high school is the best high school in MA, not only in sports, but also in academics. The XC coach for boys is one of the best coach’s and most influential people I know. She not only supports your athletic goals, but also your academic ones. Teachers push students beyond their limits. This can be good if the students want to do well in school, if they don’t care they will fall behind. Every teacher wants their students to do well. Overall this high school is 100% the best high school in Massachusetts!

#15 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Senior: Academically, Algonquin is excellent. The teachers are invested in their students and are passionate about their curriculum. For the past four years, every single teacher I have had, has been great! The course selection is very diverse, allowing me to take subjects such as criminal justice, fashion, and silent voices. The school also has a great sports culture, with the bleachers always filled with cheering students. Sadly the student body isn't very diverse. The school is quite sheltered from "real life" and the issues you may face if you live in a more urban environment.

Senior: I will be starting my fourth year at Bedford High School, and my past three years have been overall enjoyable. Besides my rigorous academics, wonderful teachers, and amazing friends at BHS, I have grown tremendously as a person in the past three years. BHS has provided me with so many leadership opportunities. Being a 2 year captain of a sports team, a peer leader, student ambassador, and so much more. It has offered me classes like anatomy and AP biology to help prepare me for my future career as well as medschool, and it gives students many opportunities to explore subject areas and interests.

Senior: Hopkinton High is a great school filled with very loving people and has a focus on academics. I would totally recommend it to anyone, as I have never felt like my teachers don't know what they are talking about. There is very little diversity in our school though, so if you are looking for a district with a diverse body this is not where you would want to be. I feel very college ready and the top of my new college class of 2024! The school does have a liberal bias, so if you are a republican it can be very difficult to feel accepted for your views.

#21 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Senior: Westford Academy harbors a distinctly strong, yet rigorous, academic experience. Many students frequently take multiple high-level classes which are treated at such: high-level. A number of electives are available in each subject area, although certain departments, such as the science department, lack sufficient resources to deliver to the demands of students despite trying their hardest. The administration seems to have a bit of a power complex and does NOT enjoy students who believe they deserve a more independent experience. Finally, students can become toxically competitive and ruin the educational experience for others because such there is underlying, albeit intense stress on grades, test scores, and academic performance, but effort often feels unrewarding.

Senior: Academically, Westwood High School is great, but the social aspect isn't, students are very cliquey. The school is great with support for students with mental illnesses and well-known diseases, but if you have a rarer illness or an invisible physical illness, it's hard to get support. Great teachers!

#23 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Junior: The school helps you a lot for college with its difficulty in academics but it creates a stressful environment for the students. The students generally get less than six hours of sleep and stay at the school til five. The academics push you which may be beneficial but can also lead to stress over if you are doing well in your classes. Some sports are very talented such as volleyball, swim, and track but other sports like football and basketball are only average. The school in general is very good as the academics prepare you well for college and the teachers are very qualified in what they teach. If you are looking for a school that you can just have fun at, this may not be for you as academics may get in the way. Overall Needham is very good as would recommend to any students who want to get a good education.

#24 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Sophomore: Your grades are based on beginning, approaches, meets, and exceeds for each of your assessments. You have MST )math, science, and technology) and AH (arts and humanities). There is wellness which is broken up into health and gym. There are three divisions, div 1, 7 and 8 graders, div 2, 9-10 graders, and div 3, 11-12. To move out of a Division you must show mastery in all skill areas and display readiness for more challenge while completing requirements. Then carry out a presentation of your mastery in that division. In every aspect of Parker we focus on depth over breadth delving in on important subject matter instead of taking many units and focusing less on each one. In Spanish we are fully immersed in the language and focus more on interaction and activities throughout class that develop and portray your strength in conversation, interpreting, writing, and presenting instead of homework and tests.

Sophomore: Bard Academy has been an amazing place for me, providing me with the knowledge and facilities to grow in my learning, expand my interests, and meet new and interesting people who I know I will continue to have a bond with for the rest of my life. There are places where improvement can be made, specifically around communication between students and administration, but I see an active effort from the administration to make those changes. In my first few months, I was able to meet new friends, and I was surprised at how accepting and welcoming the community is. Teachers are engaged and passionate, and I enjoyed subjects that I have disliked in the past, because the teachers are engaged and actively encourage participation. In one of my favorite classes, bioethics, my teacher told us that we shouldn't be afraid to question the perspectives he stated in discussions. Bard Academy has resources available to students, including personal tutoring, teacher office hours, and a writing center.

Parent: Nobles is an amazing school, filled with caring teachers and administrators and smart, nice kids who are talented in a lot of ways. The theatre program is top notch, as is the music. My son started this year as a freshman and is having an amazing time-- being challenged in his honors classes, and trying so many different clubs, from Model UN, to Chess team, to a cappella to Chamber Singers, to writing for science and humanities publications. This is a school that really cares about the students' well-being. Every morning they gather for assembly which often has performances. It's a noticeably joyful place and we are so glad our son is there.

Their hands-on/project-based learning approach not only keeps them engaged but is teaching them the critical skills they will need to succeed in high school and beyond. I couldn't be happier with the education my sons are getting at Fessenden.
