I think one of my main issues with Boston latin Academy was the lack of art classes in the school. We only have three art classes, and no Ap art courses. As this school is an exam school there is an expectation of better education that just isn't seen with the art courses. This school has provided me with so much, i just wish i had more opportunities to express myself in art related classes.

Ive been attending Boston Latin Academy since I was in 7th grade, and throughout the years Ive been given a chance to grow. Ive found numerous groups of individuals who are welcoming, alongside with teachers who care about the students wellbeing. One of the best parts of attending the school is the opening community filled with school spirit. As for a con, I feel that the school could improve in regards to safety. I would enjoy to see a change, where the school ensures more safety.

I loved my time here, although difficult at times, you always feel challenged and encouraged to do better.

I go to this school now. This school is just so bad. They always ask for money when you get your report card. They send the money on things they dont need like paper trays for food.... like really. Plus no one listens to you. Only the honor roll we give reward to only the honor roll. When other kids...

I went here in from 9th grade in 2003 to graduation in 2007. Most of the staff, administration, and many teachers could not care less about you a human being. There none of them understood that life outside the school walls like family and work affected your performance in school. Guidance counselor...
