Spaulding offers lots of AP and honors classes, as stated in another review, and offer great opportunities for their students to go into college and the workforce with the career center. The school poses a welcoming environment, and students are treated as actual human beings. The staff are all phenomenal and caring people, which makes the school an even better place to be. Clubs and activities are abundant, with great officers and advisors.

The school works very hard at accomodating students that need emotional, physical, or environmental supports in the classroom and to maximize learning. Most teachers I've experienced work diligently to keep parents engaged and "in-the-loop" about any additional supports their kiddo may need, or discuss any struggles they may be having while working towards compassionate and effective solutions to keep learning at the forefront. My kiddos have done well here!My only constructive note is that I wish they would develop additional programs for students that might need a faster paced learning program (intensive STEM, for example). Boredom can cause behavioral struggles at times, and I think having more intense learning programs would benefit those who need it.
