Stratford High School is a great school. Having a senior has proven how valuable their teachers and counselors are. I regret not pushing my son to take more AP classes. This would've helped him be more ready for college.

Here at Stratford High-school I was fortunate enough to experience a diverse and welcoming high-school experience. As a Renaissance school they focus on making sure the schools culture and environment is top notch. Not everyone enjoys the over the top activities but as long as it makes one persons day better than it counts. There VARIOUS and MANY things that could improve but I'd definitely recommend this school to anyone .
