this school is horrible. the teachers are some of the worst people ive ever met in my life. they give punishments to people without evidence and are rude for no reason. id reccomend the wilbraham schools. they might be farther. but they are way better than this horrid school.

I attended this school from 2019-2023. The school is great at helping students succeed academically and pursue a higher education at university. Teachers and staff are knowledgeable of the subjects they teach and it shows students overall test scores and grades. The athletics programs are filled with lots of money and beautiful facilities to practice and play at. That's about the last good thing there. Unfortunately this school has become prone to becoming a very progressive and biased school. They turn a blind eye to bullying and have allowed an already out of control drug problem explode into something that is a poison to this school. They also have opened themselves into choosing to show favorably to those who are part of the LGBTQ and allow for them to be rewarded when they attack someone and report them for not supporting who they are. Overall this school was really a great place to be at but due to the vast amount of school choice kids appearing and the liberal ideology taking over the curriculum the school is going down hill.

Ableism and racism plague this school. The culture and climate of the school are disturbing. A lot of the staff is not well versed in current educational practices. IEPs are not followed, so if your child has accommodations, you need to constantly monitor and hope that it's enough. General education teachers are clueless. Since the departure of Tom Mazza, the school and it's culture have consistently and steeply declined in quality. This school is the worst thing that's happened to my child in his entire educational experience.
