Im an alumni and I graduated in 2018 and was in Special Education for my whole life and 4 straight years in high school because of my Autism which disadvantaged me to take General Education courses. This lead me to be depressed everyday walking through these doors leaving me not being as educated enough as I thought because I was always afraid to be judged and I wasnt feeling it to my teachers and my fellow Classmates, but I did join the Marching Band, and Track and Field which that was really fun in spiritual. Teachers werent really trying hard enough to challenge students to learn the criteria which makes students to struggle academically and un-prepared for college (for those who want to continually pursue their education) and not getting enough homework which makes them having the lack of Knowledge. The building itself I would say it needs a majority of improvement. Science Labs are already renovated Well-Done, but the rest of the certain buildings need to renovate the hallways in the B Building on the 2nd floor and C building on all 3 floors. However, they did a great job painting all over the building, but I think in consideration they should start over with replacing certain hallways to make the school look better and neater. Im glad Im out of Prison school. At my time here there were always fights in the hallway which it can grow its reputation of record through the students which it give a untouched relationships with the students. Half of the teacher populations can be unpredictable and rude. Some of them are not as helpful. We need to do a stupendous job finding teachers that actually make a great impact with their students to learn professionally and connect with peers.

I attended Medford high for 3 years and graduated from there. Subsequently I went on to college at the University of Massachusetts on scholarship I received by doing well on the MCAS and AP exams in that school. Everything taken into consideration it was an above average school. I honestly felt like I learned most of my life skills in that high school and a lot less comparatively in College. The school has a strong focus on Honors and AP students which was great because I ended up getting 5 AP classes passed junior and senior year, and then basically skipped the first semester of college because of it.

Horrible school due to the headmaster. He only is interested in the honor or AP students. My son needed help passing 1 class to graduate and was told by headmaster that he could not get any help by his teacher who was willing to help. He wouldn't be allow him to graduate with his class because he was 1 credit short. Also threatened to have him forcibly removed if he showed up to graduation. The teachers are great but the headmaster holds them back.
