Wow! The new leadership has managed to transform Lilja in to a model school for the 21st century.

As long term resident of Natick, I fully supported my daughter and my son in our public school system which they attended from K-12. Our schools have only improved over time, as one can learn by reviewing the ranking lists of Boston area High Schools. Both of my children excelled in the Natick Schools and were prepared to be accepted, and thrive in Ivy League colleges. They established strong friendships, joined the Speech Team, French Club and Tennis Teams. Now after graduation, they have wonderful connections to the Town and many friends that they stay in touch with from their High School days. There was something for all students at the school, and I found that the administration would allow and accept credit for advanced outside courses. Overall, the public schools in the Boston area are the best in the country. I feel that Natick High School is no acception.The parents, students and school system all have a hand in the students' education.

The teachers could really benefit from in person diversity training not a clock through power point slides. No support for minority students that attend the school whom are not METCO students. How can teachers relate to this and provide support when they haven’t walked through this? They simply can’t. The teachers tend to label minority students. Check in with you child if they are a minority that attends this school. They are also very harsh on the transition from Elementary to Middle school to a point school becomes less enjoyable.
