    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 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.

    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.

    Charlottesville Catholic School

    • Private School
    • Charlottesville, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 7

    Parent: Our family LOVES CCS! Our two boys went through CCS and are much better young men and students as a result. The overall environment at the Catholic School is exceptional. Academically, the students are encouraged, supported, and pushed to do their very best in the classroom. The teachers do an amazing job of reaching each student individually which translates into a trusting, caring, and successful school experience for the student, the parent(s), and also the teacher. In and out of the classroom the teachers and staff also do an extraordinary job of instilling discipline, self-respect and respect for others, thoughtfulness, and a sense of community and personal responsibility. Our boys continue to excel each and every year both as students and as young men in our community and I believe those valuable traits are a direct result of the foundation, mentorship, and guidance that they received as students at the Charlottesville Catholic School.

    4 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.

    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

    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.

    7 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Alum: Concord Carlisle is a great high school that provides lots of opportunities to learn and explore. The classes, especially the elective ones for upperclassmen, are very interesting, and the vast majority of teachers are engaging and passionate about what they teach. There are also plenty of extra-curricular activities for all different ranges of interests. While some policies and programs could still be improved, the administration is usually very good about listening to its students and working to make the school a better place.

    8 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: It was incredibly challenging and teachers pushed students non-stop, however it made me a better student because I not only became more equipped to handle high-pressure situations, but I was more involved in my education and wanted to do well. Students were competitive, however encouraged each other and most were willing to help their classmates. Overall, I wish the school would give less homework because in harder classes it can take hours to complete work after school, however the intensity of the classes helped prepare me for the real world.

    10 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    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!

    • Hingham Public Schools, MA

    • 160
    11 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: My time at HHS has been a series of ups and downs. The academics are challenging and trying at times but have prepared me for college. Teachers are passionate and make an effort to connect with students. There is a sense of community among students but the usual cliques and drama of any high school are present. Sports are considered/valued far more than the arts. However, the school is always trying to better itself. The administration is trying to get more involved in student life and is dedicated but can be difficult. The school and community are extremely focused on college and ranking/image which can be unfair to students. Immense pressure on testing well and going to a good university is put on the students. AP classes are pushed far too much for little actual benefit to students. Not enough is dedicated to helping or putting the mental health of students first.

    • Westwood Public Schools, MA
    • 9-12
    • 192
    12 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: Algonquin Regional is unique. It is supportive, academically challenging and rich in traditions. Our division 1 sports teams all support each other and are very successful, the success comes from hard work and determination. Algonquin offers a variety of clubs and organizations. Our music and arts departments are top notch and have won many awards. When entering the grounds at Algonquin Regional you can;t help but see the beauty of the well maintained sports fields that spread for many acres. You will often see many community members taking advantage of the various fields around the school.

    14 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    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.

    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.

    16 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.

    • Public School

    17 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: I love Boston Collegiate fr the many opportunities it has provided me with and the college preparation it has given me as well. I know that MANY other students in many other schools do not get the same preparation or aid as I do and that makes me much more grateful because if I did not have the support and guidance I have, given to me from BCCS, I do not how I would fare in my college application process. For that, I am eternally grateful and appreciative. However, BCCS has not always been great. At times, I felt BCCS to be excessively strict with rules limiting colors of socks, shoes and clothing that in no way could or did affect the education purpose of school. I also felt that BCCS was not for the faint of heart in terms of homework load. It was justified by being preparation for the intense work load in college however, for students from 7th grade to high school seniors, it proved to be too much for more than half of students.
    Otherwise, BCCS was a great school.

    Senior: I love this school! The small size allowed me to get close to my teachers. There is nothing like getting taught by someone who knows you well and can help you with your specific needs. Also, the school is always changing for the better. This fall I attended a conference run by the head of the school and it included teachers, parents, alumni, board members, and administration. The conference was about improving the school for the nest generations of students. I love that our school actively looks for opportunities to be better. I just can't express my love for this school and how much it has made me love learning. Every project is hands on and intuitive; they let us figure things out on our own and that makes it stick and be more enjoyable. This school has been the best fit for me in every aspect, the culture, the education, and absolutely everything.

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...

    21 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: The teachers are always ready to teach you and help you through topics you may have some trouble with. There is a ten-minute free space every single day where students can ask and receive help from their teachers. Without a doubt, the teachers and staff are the best part of this school and, because of that, I always enjoy coming into school if it means going to a class with my favorite teachers. School spirit is something that isn't really noticeable except for pep rallies, or during powderpuff. If you aren't into athletics, there isn't a lot of ways for you to show of your spirit in a way that doesn't come off as over the top. There are definitely cliques as can be expected from any high school, and almost every kid here has been going to the same school with each other since kindergarten.I just want to say that although it may be hard to join the more close-knit groups, there are still so many awesome people in this school and no matter what, I promise that you will love it here.

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: 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.

    25 Best Public High School Teachers in Massachusetts

    Senior: Overall, I had an amazing experience at Hopkinton. At the beginning of every year there is a club fair to encourage students to get involved. The courses are very challenging 85% of the time. Teachers are required to stay after atleast 1 or 2 days per week for extra help. A lot of students enroll in AP classes. There are also a lot of options for AP classes junior and senior year. Our school grades on a 4.0 scale and Gpa is weighted. I like this because if you are taking an honors or AP class it helps your Gpa, as long as you are doing well at that well. One thing I didnt like is that it is very difficult to move up from an honors to accelerated math class after a couple months of freshman year. I tried to move up after sophomore year and my teacher said it would take about half a years work to catch up. My friend switched up a couple months into freshman year and said that it was a lot of work to catch up.

    Senior: I love Gann so much, I wake up every day excited to go to school. The teachers here sincerely care about you and want you to succeed, and the community is so amazing and supportive. Gann students are passionate and driven people and thinkers, and unafraid to show it. Most of us are involved in multiple activities outside the classroom, it's pretty abnormal not to do so. Going to a pluralistic Jewish day school is a unique experience, I can happily say that I have friends of many different Jewish beliefs and denominations who are all willing to engage with each other. Gann has shaped me into a thoughtful person who is ready to go out into the world and follow my passions in college and beyond. I value my time here so much and I wouldn't have it any other way.
