6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCambridge has great opportunities and this school definitely makes use of that, with lots of options for students. however, a lot of the teachers are not qualified to be here and should not be working with children. they ignore the students' opinions and we have to do everything ourselves while the principal (Mr smith) writes emails and takes credit for it. a lot of the teachers teach really fast and don't care about other things that are happening in your life. I've heard the extension school is much better, so if you're looking for a public high school inn Cambridge I would go there firstStudent Review4mo ago - Haggerty School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere are always waitlists for this school, given that it's one of the few bilingual public schools. That perk aside, I have not enjoyed this school whatsoever. There is a stronger community here than at some other Cambridge Public Schools, but it was largely destroyed by COVID mitigation measures. Parents are just not able to participate in school activities. Even my kid's music recital was asynchronous and virtual.The principal is extremely "woke" and there is a lot of political indoctrination in the teaching. My kid is not challenged, and there are limited to no advanced learning opportunities--because #equity, you know.Parent Review1y ago - Rindge Avenue Upper School

"Quiet and clean neighborhood with a few restaurants and market stores closed by. Accesible by bus, bike and car. Lots of amenities on a walk distance. "
- Linh

"Quiet, close proximity to stores, boutiques, streets have sidewalks, bike lanes, and street parking is available and not congested as downtown. City setting but suburban feel, people walk their dogs, responsible for cleaning up after them, green spaces, colleges near by but never feel like you’re living near an animal house. Great quality of life. Nearby transit, plenty of blue bikes, etc. I absolutely love it here!"
- Morgan R

"Trains and buses are pretty good. Convenient walk to school. Driving better for commute to south Boston "
- Jasper H.

"Not enough green space to adequately have your dog get his run on! Also we have lots of traffic on Concord Ave."
- Maggie A

"It is mostly family but buses do not run often enough and I would like a Shaw’s or Stop and shop near by. The Star Market is close but it old and dreary"

"There is a great mix of people and it is a very friendly and nice environment with access to playgrounds, toy store, market, parks, and Fresh Pond Reservation. "
- Bottlegreenjaguar
- Resident

"A rare combo of urban amenities and culture -- walking distance to Harvard, excellent markets and galleries, a Blue Bikes station -- with a somewhat suburban feel: tree-lined roads, well-tended gardens, friendly neighbors. Even the on-street parking isn't as impossible as in most other parts of Cambridge. With the long-awaited completion of recent major public work, accessibility for most modes of transpo (not to mention the sewer infrastructure) is vastly improved."

- Paul C.
- 11y ago
"We purchased a home in another area but will sorely miss this part of town. It is quiet, with great neighbors, and Fresh Pond is hands down one of the best places to walk the dog that I know of, beautiful and peaceful. I spend 4-6 days a week enjoying the views. The neighborhood is very convenient to the T, shops, and restaurants. Also with a short walk or bike ride you will be in Porter Sq, Davis Sq, or Harvard for all Cambridge has to offer. "
- Diane L.
- 12y ago
"Great neighborhood - one of Cambridge's best, large lots, right next to Fresh Pond Reservation for recreation. Walk to libraries, stores, T, restaurants. Close to major routes (2, 3, 16, Mass Pike) for easy escapes from the city. "
