Middle School Student: Al-Noor Academy is a beautiful and brilliant place to learn. If your looking for a school for your child to learn Islam, this is the perfect place. Al-Noor Academy offers many courses for such, like Islamic Sciences, Quranic Studies, and more. Additionally, the math, science, history, literature, and so many other courses are wonderful. The teachers care for each and every student to help them thrive in these rigorous classes. When you walk through the halls, you can sense the joy and happiness of the students and staff, similar to a bonded family. I have only been attending this school for 6 months in 8th grade, however I already feel at home and I've learned an unumerable amount of information in all subjects. Overall, Al-Noor Academy is an exceptional school, and your child will love it here! Sincerely, Sulayman... Read 102 reviews

Senior: There are positives and negatives. The administration lacks strong leadership and cohesion and there is a visible divide between good teachers and bad. Some departments (History) are extremely function and comprised of fantastic teachers, while others struggle to truly help students. The facilities are relatively nice, but the bathrooms and student resources vastly need to be improved.... Read 230 reviews

Senior: As I Senior at the school, I can attest that Feehan is an amazing school and I highly recommend for those who want to pursue college. Before you even start freshman year, they have events to help you connect to other students. In addition, Feehan has enough clubs/sports to satisfy anyone’s interests. The school is great at emphasizing the importance of Catholic values and service to the community. Almost every club will be doing some type of service, and each student needs at least 60 hours of service to graduate. Feehan offers 4 levels of classes, besides AP, for each subject that all prepare students for college. The guidance I have received when applying to colleges has been spectacular. You are even required to take a semester SAT prep class during sophomore or junior year. The teachers are all wonderful at what they do and strive to help students achieve. When they say there is a Feehan family, they are not lying. One thing I will also mention is they have good arts programs!... Read 191 reviews

Junior: Dartmouth High School has been an opportunity for me to build a family; a family of friendships. In the last three years I have bonded with a group of 8 girls who I am proud to call my best friends. It is because of the extensive activity options and over-emphasis on student-based participation that I collected my unblood-family members through sports including track, volleyball, and tennis and also clubs such as the Women's Empowerment Club and Political Science Club. The best part of high school for me has been finding my people, but that doesn't mean my experience has been picture perfect. I have found it difficult to connect with periods outside of my own little bubble. Because there are so many activity options many students are stretched thin and offered little interaction with peers in the classroom and throughout the actual school day.... Read 211 reviews

Senior: Despite covid taking two years away from my high school experience, I have had a fantastic time at Stang. Over the years, I have seen the diversity grow with each incoming class, making an overall more welcoming environment. The teachers are highly accommodating if you express your needs to them. I have never once felt that I couldn't reach out to my teachers if I needed help. The teachers will challenge your weak areas to shape a better student and a better member of society. Several scholarships, internships, and study opportunities are provided by counseling. I feel well prepared for college, thanks to Stang.... Read 123 reviews

Alum: My experience at Mansfield High School has been a mixed one. On one hand, I built a good foundation academically in which i could succeed, but I feel there were missed opporutnities. One of the glaring gaps in my experience was the limited availability of Advanced Placement (AP) classes. I wished for a broader curriculum to explore my interests. Additionally, I believe I should have been allowed to take more AP classes. These courses not only offer rigorous academic challenges but also better prepare students for the demands of higher education. While I did my best with the opportunities presented to me at Mansfield High School, in hindsight compared to schools my friends went to, I feel like I missed out on some opportunities. I hope that the school can continue to evolve and expand its offerings in the future, ensuring that students like me have the chance to reach their full academic potential and pursue their passions to the fullest extent....

Senior: Seekonk High School has been a place for me that has furthered my development both physically and mentally. I have been capable of meeting new people which has transpired into life-long friendships. Not only that, the classes that I have taken have fostered interests in every single subject. From talking about what motivated the start of the Spanish Armada in European history to figuring out the frequency of the 5th harmonic in physics, I have been exposed to the developments throughout time which made this possible for me and thousands of other students to absorb. Connecting with my teachers and classmates have also taught me valuable lessons along with building important life skills. Overall, Seekonk High School has been a haven for the creation of interests that have motivated me to further my knowledge in areas of work that I never could have imagined. It has taught me and many others that we can accomplish all of the things that we believe that we Kant.... Read 117 reviews

Senior: I loved the support from everyone in the building that they give to all of the students. Whether it be the teachers, administration, or even the custodians, everyone wants to make sure that you feel like you belong at the school and have a place where you fit in. The teachers will go above and beyond for you if you put yourself out there and show an interest. There are many resources that help students figure out their interests and that will set them up for their future. The school system doesn’t push college, because they know it’s not the path for every student. However, for those students interested in attending college, there are many opportunities for them to be prepared for their future in a higher education. Norton is a small community that works together despite the low diversity. There aren’t as many classes as some other big schools, but it is sufficient for the small size.... Read 152 reviews

Sophomore: Offerings for academic enrichment are average compared to others, but they are definitely open to students broadening them. Thus far, clubs of this nature are Science Club, Galedrial (literary magazine), Math League, and Biology Club. When my friends and I contacted administration about starting the last of those, they embraced it with open arms. Their club composition is clearly focused on student engagement, and thus, students can start the clubs they want to see. Offerings in all other regions are superb. Course offerings are above average, offering several AP classes in common core subjects as well as many in foreign language, business, and computer science. Elective composition is fairly diverse and has a decent fit for a variety of potential interests. Although I have a lack of comparison points, I can say that the teachers' work composition could be better designed. Students frequently find themselves completing long-winded assignments with little value for the time invested.... Read 293 reviews

Sophomore: I love going to Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School. I can't imagine going anywhere else. For starters, the school offers a great variety in not only academic courses, but also sports and clubs! As a freshman, I was able to try out all sorts of things. They also offer a Career Tech Education wing, almost like a vocational school for students interested in work like woodworking or automotive. Lastly, the teachers and staff here are all experience and know their subjects well, as well as how to get personal with the students and properly help them. I love going to this school....

Alum: Overall, I enjoyed my time here. Most of the teachers I had are excellent people and were generally enthusiastic about what they taught. I feel like I could have been challenged more, and it seems like there was less options for academic classes than at larger high schools nearby. However, there are many great elective classes offered, and the arts department is top-notch. There is a decent selection of extracurricular activities and clubs, which is the best way to meet new people here and is arguably the backbone of the school culture. Fairhaven High's administration is its biggest flaw, especially the guidance department. I was completely left to fend for myself throughout the college process, the only times they tried to help were either far too late or ended up hurting me in the long run. Stay away unless you need to pester them into change your schedule, which usually happens at the start of each year. Otherwise, everything else at this school makes it worth attending if you can!...

Junior: Teachers are amazing, people are amicable, food is ok. Administration, however, has made some terrible decisions without regard to the students, parents, or faculty within the past few years. The school loves to hide things from us that cannot be ignored, like hate crimes in bathrooms and random decisions they decide to make out of the blue that affect your high school career. But, aside from administration, I really like this school. Finding a group here you can resonate with is easy and exploratory is super fun freshman year. Southeastern is a vocational school, so it is preparing you for a trade in the workforce rather than going to college/s. It is difficult since, personally, I am interested seeking a higher education, and am trying the best I can to stick out. A word of advice would be to research! I am one of the lucky ones where I found a shop I like by process of elimination, but, MAKE SURE to see all the programs here. If none stick out, maybe go to another school.... Read 208 reviews

Senior: The best part of GLCPS is the small community of it all. We all know each others names, and most of the names of the grades above and below us. The worst part is the lack of sports, and organizations. Even though I do not do sports myself, I would love to go to a stereotypical high school football game and show our school spirit. Although, because of our location, this is impossible. I would also like to see change in the organization of the school.

Junior: The best parts of Durfee is the academic opportunities that it offers like the early college program and the college and honor classes. It not only provides education but it also helps me with college credits. Some classes even offer tips for college and prepare me for my majors and minors that I’m interested in for when I do go to college. The teachers there are really helpful in many ways too. Although there is a lot of work and it can be stressful it’s still worth it. My worst experiences would be like said the stress and the staying up on late nights. It’s also the kids that make it hard for me to understand and learn. This school has a good sports program too and I love to play but sometimes there is favoritism. I would like to see change is the grading system and the amount of work that’s being put in. That’s because some kids have jobs, little siblings they have to babysit, sports, and other after school extracurriculars, so it’s hard to get done and put in work at 11:59.... Read 282 reviews

Freshman: My freshman year has been a great experience. The teachers are very nice, helpful and always available to students. There’s a variety of sports to get into. The school is very clean and I do feel safe at GNBVT. The shops are all impressive & as a freshman you have the exploratory trimester to check out a wide variety before choosing one if you didn’t have one in mind already. Academics are well rounded & provide different courses as you move forward to prepare you for college or straight into a work field. My first year has been filled with great memories of making new friends, staying in touch with old friends, exploring the medical field and just taking in all of what GNBVT has to offer! Go Bears!...

Senior: I enjoyed my time at Diman Regional, I came from Westport, which is a small town in comparison to Fall River which for me was helpful in learning how to interact with many different people. I also liked how they were very helpful with getting assignments done, each teacher would have their own extra help days to stay after to help any kids who were falling behind. My peers and I found that very helpful. Something that I think could be improved would be their strictness. I understand that having intense rules keep everyone safe and orderly, but there are some rules that go a little too far, in my opinion. I know many students who have received a Saturday school for things that, in my opinion, are miniscule in comparison to other things that kids are doing. For example, wearing crocs shoes and not having the back down. Other than that I would say Diman prepares you very well for the work force and life after high school.... Read 204 reviews

Alum: Atlantis Charter is a small school and not a lot of people know it exists. For me, I’ve always wanted to go to a big school where there were lots of people and high level sports teams, and to be honest I did not like Atlantis Charter at first. But the reason that I rated Atlantis Charter 5 stars is because during my time there I came to realize that Atlantis has something to offer that nobody else did, family and community. I honestly think I knew every person in that school so well that we were like one large family.

Alum: My experience at Taunton High was overall really good. I met many of my life-long friends through school and discovered my passion of architecture with the help of amazing teachers. I really liked the CTE programmed offered at my school because it allowed me to explore different career paths, including CAD. Learning CAD taught me that architecture is something I want to pursue, and I had wonderful teachers to help me prepare. For example, they gave me feedback on portfolio submissions to ensure I had the best possible way to show my strengths. The sports teams were also a great way to be involved and meet new people.

Senior: As a small and close-knit community, Westport Junior/Senior High School provides a student-focused education. Teachers work around after-school activities, as most teachers participate in clubs and sports. Due to the small community, students have an easier time interacting and making connections with teachers and staff. As a part of the student council, there were many instances where the staff compromised in order to allow us to put on a fundraiser or any other activity. The sports teams at Westport Junior/Senior High School are excellent, as we are almost always contenders in the state tournament at the end of the season.

Senior: Overall, I'm genuinely so appreciative of the opportunities I've had at this school & I love coming to school. Personally, I have had a great experience here with the teachers, my classes, & the overall atmosphere (some of the time depending on general classes vs. AP or honors). I've absolutely LOVED most of my teachers & they have impacted me so incredibly much - generally, they are understanding, reasonable, & actually want to teach. The opportunities/resources given are great & extremely beneficial, including AP and honors classes, dual-enrollment with UMass and BCC, GearUP (college readiness - which has been EXTREMELY helpful with my applications/process), JROTC, clubs, sports, etc. I haven't had any issues with administration or particular teachers or counselors but I have heard of some stories. The only real critique I have is the lack of communication in some circumstances, however, I've seen it improve over the time I've been here along with safety - with new alarms & security...
