There are drugs everywhere you go - its a matter of being a good parent or having parents who are involved & actually care about what their kids are doing! Its also about watching who your child's friends are & having an open relationship of communication with them. I can't wait for my son to experience the education AV has to offer. I'm proud to have the experience& I am still actively involved with the staff & alumni at AV! Toni Pakus Read less

I beg to differ about Assabet Valley. The teachers are not caught up in themselves they do care about the students. You get an awsome education. I am a student at Assabet Valley I have been for 4 years now. My sister graduated this past year, she now goes to Anna Maria College taking up Criminal Justice.

Yes Assabet has a lot of drugs but the fact that the rate of students that come out of there and go to college is just the same as Westborough High School. plus students that come out of there have a job right away and are more likely to succeed in college. I am a student there. It's my first year and

All the teachers there know exactly what they are talking about and all the teachers know about drugs since I know a kid there that smokes and his shop teacher came up to him and said please die queitly. I know you smoke and smoke pot. Last year in 04, 6 seniors were arrested fro having drugs. Yes there are drugs, but this school is absolutely the best school I know of. Read less
