The overall experience has been great. There is a lot of support from teachers, counselors, and more. There are a wide range of classes and there are even more opportunities.

As someone who's been at CRLS for the past three years, I can say that the greatest aspects of CRLS are the diversity and opportunity. What I really love about the school is the variety of clubs and other student organizations there are, which makes it easy to engage with the community and make friends. Because the school is so huge, I will say that self advocacy is super important to have as a student here.

Cambridge Ringe & Latin School is good, but not perfect, the teachers try to prepare us for college and what to do after high school. Some changes I would like to see such as more preparation of college readiness, reduce the amount of fights to make the school safer, and more opportunities for student who are first generation to college.

Academically, this is a place that is going to show what kind of student you are, and what kind of person you are. If...

What can I say? I graduated from CRLS as a National Honor Society student, Vice President of the French Club, and an actress and dancer in many CRLS plays. I got an acceptance letter from every single college I applied to after CRLS...rejected by NONE! Why? Because CRLS prepared me with a top-notch...
