10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI graduated in 2004 and my comments may not fully reflect the current institution. Overall I was prepared well for college and found that my senior year here was more challenging than some of my college years. The facilities were excellent, clean, and it was a safe environment, though socially cliquish. The two things I would have liked at the time were to see a wider selection of courses and more diversity. For courses, the general sense of students was that AP courses would improve your college prospects while lower level courses, and especially electives, were not challenging. As such, there was a pressure to go for the AP courses, which were of a limited selection and only covered a narrow range of interests. The lack of diversity reflected the town's population, but I feel the school could have done more.Other Review10y ago - South Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school impresses me on a daily basis. The principal of the school is amazing and incredible involved in the day to day. The professional staff is top notch and foster an environment where ALL kids - no matter their limitations - feel a sense of belonging. The school teaches independence and confidence in the children and reinforces the importance of kindness and community. The PTO is incredibly involved and offer lots of opportunity for involvement. The social events are fun and always create lots of buzz.Parent Review11y ago - Hingham Middle School
