Having moved from a school where educational funding was always being cut, the resources that Simsbury provides to its students are incredible. The academics are really rigorous, but as a result, students graduate feeling well-prepared for college-level work. If you enjoy music in any way, Simsbury is also the perfect place for that, as the music program is INCREDIBLE!! The atmosphere is very competitive, which can be stressful at times but also prepares students for competitive colleges/majors/professions/etc. In general, my experience was great and I'd definitely recommend it over a lot of the other districts or private schools in the area.
Simsbury High School is a very good school for academics. The teachers are focused on their jobs while also making sure to build relationships with their students. This being said, the administration is very neglectful of important topics. Two teachers in the school have been reported to make uncomfortable comments or gestures, and they are still teaching at our school. In addition, the administration is more focused on their reputation then keeping the kids feeling safe. Many girls who have came forward about SA did not receive any justice until we preformed a walk out last year.
Most high schools have bullies in them. This one does not. In fact, most students are kind and respectful, which has made my high school experience all the more better. The options for classes and subjects is so vast, I am lucky to be in a school where I can get experience in any topic I want. The only thing I would change is our learning style. Like many schools, the teachers (though better than most) are not quite great. A lot of times, the curriculum in a subject is so different for every teacher, the students get an advantage or disadvantage just from the teacher they get, someone they do not get to choose. There is no regard to learning styles, or any actual effort to help kids to do better in school. But, nevertheless, we have more opportunities here than many other schools which I should be grateful for, but it honestly makes me very concerned for the educational system here in US... what are we doing to those who will carve the future?
