Simsbury High School is what I would consider to be a good school, in the sense that many teachers will go out of their way to make sure that students are performing well and are helping them whenever possible. Obviously there will be some outliers but when isn't there. A problem though is that the administration doesn't take too much student input into consideration with an example of what would've been a schedule change. If you asked any student, they'd say it was bad and that they were against it, but nonetheless, they kept pushing it and it would've been enacted if it weren't for recent problems with COVID causing an alter of the old schedule to allow for safer passage throughout the school, but that is my only real complaint.
Academically, Simsbury High school is a great place to be. The administration really cares about grades and school ranking. Unfortunately, being a student here is honestly saddening. There is almost no sense of togetherness or community. The school is divided, the classes are divided. Students don't feel comfortable enough to be themselves. Instead of addressing mental health and the incredible amount of discrimination that goes on, administration makes more rules, restricting their students tenfold. If you aren't white, don't even bother succeeding here. You will always be an after thought.
Simsbury High School offers a lot of great opportunities for all students ; whether it has to do with sports and music performing arts. They also offer a lot of world language classes with different levels and that is for academic classes as well. My experience at Simsbury High School was good, they offer a of different opportunities. But one thing I would change or make better is the lack of diversity and representation in the school (as in teachers who have different backgrounds).
