The overall academics program is without disappointment. The school is involved with PLTW programs and has access to many science/math resources. The arts programs, specifically independently founded clubs receive little to no funding.

The best part of my experience is the energy some of my favorite teachers bring to class each day. You can tell they're truly passionate about their subject and enjoy sharing their knowledge. I've also had a very rewarding experience in Shepherd Hill's marching band and color guard. The worst part of my experience has to be that the food served at Shepherd Hill often isn't very appetizing.

Shepherd Hill is a grate school with amazing teachers. It is fairly big and you can meet people from other towns. It is great for socializing. I feel safe and secure. The teachers are very welcoming and respectful.

Dudley Charlton School District is 2nd to none. From Charlton's elementary schools to their middle school and finally high school. The communication is fantastic, the teachers are awesome, my daughter has never enjoyed school more, and that is certainly a compliment being that high school is typical...

I had a terrific experience as a former student at this school. Both the teachers and students were motivated to teach and learn. There were all sorts of great extra curricula activities and the school felt pretty unified for its size.
