Merrimack Valley High School

Very poor experience! College counselors do not care whether or not you succeed, and don't provide students with any tools to go much farther than community college. If you're bullied, it's blamed on you! Most of the teachers are very caring, but are under payed and don't have enough resources. Administration and counseling does not care about the student body at all. We're D2 or D3 in most sports, and yet a large amount of our funds are spent on the football team by an administration yearning for their glory days while our arts and STEM departments struggle.

Good solid educational opportunities, a variety of co-curricular activities, nice upgraded facilities, and STEM opportunities.

I am a student at this school and when I came out as trans, I was looked down upon by more teachers and students who don't try to understand. I also have slight disabilities but no teacher helps well enough with that. Whenever an assignment is given, the teachers are not reliable with taking care of your work and if you ask for help with one then the teacher will likely not help or forget you even asked in the first place. Very unfriendly and uncooperative.

The staff is disrespectful and condescending, creating a unhealthy environment

Moving to this school has been a wonderful transition. My kids love their teachers as well as all of the friends they've made. With all of the extracurricular activities that my kids love as well as duel placement with some classes for college credit this has been a great school. The music program is fantastic and my child loves jazz band! School spirit is great from what I could see, my daughter encourages my whole family to the football games, even though she clearly doesn't play, "it's all about the people, Mom." Great school. Great families, great kids. Yes, like with all schools there are those kids that are going to be trouble but the school offers plenty of opportunities for kids to keep busy and stay out of trouble.
