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!

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.

Niche User: Weston is one the best school systems in the state. Many take it for granted but without a doubt the school system is amazing. Yes, it has it flaws but there isn't a major hole in education system where a kid can't read with continue on. Weston helps children who need help and gives the resources and tools they need. Students and Parents don't recognize it til after the fact. Which is sad but Weston gives it's students endless opportunities to travel aboard, meet infamous people, and go outside of the box.

4 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Senior: Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School is a phenomenal high school that challenges its students academically and promotes excellence in all areas of our community. The majority of the teachers have Master's degrees and most of them do an incredible job. The athletics complex is also incredibly good, and it includes many different fields and courts that cater to the needs of all sports teams. The major problem with the school is the lack of diversity in both students and teachers that prevents a more interesting community from fully developing. The cafeteria food is also less-than-perfect, but it is adequate for a public school cafeteria.

5 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Alum: Excellent education that provides classes of many different levels going into college level for students to choose from. While the classes may seem challenging, I can guarantee that they prepare the individual very well for college, especially in the math, science, and writing departments. The student body is extremely diverse and come from different towns. Many teachers are very intelligent and helpful and the school graduates many accomplished students both in and out of the classroom.

The administration had been rocky in my time as a student but since hearing from other students and staff and visiting the school again, it is in perfect care under Dr. Lewis. Things will only go up from now

PK, K-8

Niche User: All three of my children attended Meadowbrook, and it was the most wonderful experience for each of them. They are three very different students and their individual needs were met throughout their time at Meadowbrook. Under Headmaster Steve Hinds, Meadowbrook's faculty made the community feel like home for the whole family. The faculty's outstanding reputation is for good reason. Every teacher at Meadowbrook is passionate about the kids and their education. My kids made lifelong connections at Meadowbrook with their teachers and classmates. The lessons they learned in and out of the classroom at Meadowbrook stuck with them throughout secondary school, high school, college, and into adulthood.

7 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Freshman: Wellesley High School is in many ways an amazing school full of rich opportunities to grow. The performing arts program is phenomenal, with a large fall musical, winter plays, a spring musical and play, as well as many choral and orchestral concerts that are very entertaining. The athletics is also very good and highly competitive, considering there are around 400 students per class. When you transition from the middle school to the high school, you soon realize that there are so many extracurricular activities that everyone has the chance to pursue their passion, and everyone is engaged in activities and being kept very busy. However there are some negatives to the high school, such as it's work load every night that can become absurd amounts. The history department at times seems to be excessively challenging, to a point where you forget you're in high school and not studying at Harvard University. I believe the Spanish department could be improved. Curse this character limit.....

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)

9 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Junior: I like attending Wayland High School. The school has a very friendly atmosphere. The teachers are very helpful and I have really good friends. The school itself is on the smaller side with class sizes of under 200 students. This makes the course offerings limited compared to larger schools. Therefore, I found myself needing to take online courses to supplement my academics at school.

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.

Alum: Nobles is a special place rich with tradition, oozing with school pride, and steadfast in strong community principles. I feel so fortunate to have spent my high school life in such a place where I was accepted, encouraged and challenged all in perfect harmony. The teachers are happy to be there too--they are also encouraged to challenge themselves and develop as educators and that is clear in the way they immerse themselves in their curriculum and their afternoon program duties. I love nobles more than words can share--could not recommend it more!

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.

Senior: Looking back at my four years in Westwood High School, all I can say is that it helped me develop into the hard working person I am today. Without the supportive faculty, I would not have been able to achieve what I have achieved thus far. However, I do have some gripes with the school system. Westwood HS offers many clubs; however, in terms of notability, most do not compete on a national level. Additionally, in my time here, I realized that there were some students who do not take their academics seriously. Yet, this comes with every school system, and I therefore cannot blame the teachers, but rather their peers and the overall environment.

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...

15 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts
Alum: The students work hard and push each other to succeed. Community and family pressure also contribute to making this one of the most successful public high schools in the country. Main academic teachers are hit-or-miss, so the academics really do come from outside-the-classroom learning and incentives. Extracurricular teachers (especially the music department, the robotics team, the debate team, and student government advisors) are incredible. However, the school suffers from extreme mental health problems (especially stress, anxiety, and depression) and stratification/worth based on intelligence. There is no doubt that it prepares nearly all of its students to thrive in the best colleges in the world. However, the tolls this community has taken on its children are immense and desperately require attention.

Niche User: This high school equipped me with such great skills and capabilities to graduate and move on into college and the "real world". I learned such amazing team work and collaboration skills from the athletic and academic programs that I am able to problem solve and succeed in collegiate athletics and higher education. I would do it all over again at this school because of the amount of diverse options and experiences I didn't even know I had available to me. From culture clubs, to dance teams, sports games, and academic clubs, this public school had it all.

Parent: All of our children are graduates. The data on which this web site bases scoring is flawed. The building houses a part of a middle school in addition to the 4 grades in high school. In our 22 years here the mean population of the high school grades is between 350-390. In recent years it shows a tendency towards a calculated mean of 400. The school historically lose almost ha;f the students when student move to grade 9. This web site and others use the total student population of the building and are therefore comparing apples and oranges metaphorically. The common space of the middle and high school is a single corridor. Other data demonstrates that CHS is one of 7 STEM schools ranked nationally that re in the Commonwealth (See US News and Newsweek). Last year's graduating class(2016) sent 20 graduates to top 50 colleges. Do the math!The AP rate is therefore almost twice the quoted since you use courses vs pupils to obtain your rate.

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.

Also we are very accepting of all students regardless of race, gender, class and sexual orientation. It is a big part of the school message to make all students comfortable to be themselves. Also we have amazing teachers who all love their students. They are alway there to offer any help and advice. In all the classes, everyone feels comfortable to voice their opinions regardless of how controversial. Furthermore, there are a wide range of classes taught at my high school. Aside from traditional classes such as math, science, english and history, they also offer forensics, love course, photography, tv & media and many more. Often there many more classes added each year. Over all Sharon High School is a welcoming community to all students, and the rigorous classes help student improve their abilities.

Niche User: The first thing a student will tell you about the school is that we are a community like no other. Student's are immensely supportive of one another and proud to be a part of Rising Tide regardless of its faults. We boast immensely gifted students, especially in the arts and music. While our programs aren't as well funded as the surrounding schools, students are really dedicated to their programs. Student's really appreciate the Honors level curriculum and that we are given immensely high expectations in every course. Being such a small school, we are also able to develop a stronger relationship with our teachers and advisors who know us well (the teachers are on the young side, most in their late 20s). Overall, while we complain about a strict administration, a lack of program funding, and having to attend events that seem juvenile, everyone rejoices at the opportunity to be part of such a passionate, intelligent and tight knit community. Go Herons!

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.
