As a parent my daughter has had an exceptional middle School and now high school education. The teachers have prepared and pushed my daughter to her ability to think outside the box and continue to ask questions. My daughter has excelled in her classes and enjoys the education materials taught to her. The school has gone above and beyond to ensure that she succeeds.

The teacher retention rate is high, the food is decent, and student-athletes need more access to the gym. Instead of investing so much money, time, and effort in punishing students rather than teaching them, they need to invest more in resources for students to be great. I don't understand why there are 2-page papers due for a senior ethics class that meets once a week which Is just adding more stress to seniors who already have so much on their plate. However, Boston Prep does have a good education and great college counselors who prepare you to go to college and care where you end up. Boston Prep also keeps in contact with you for a whole six years after you graduate college which is amazing.

This school is a bad school. I literally got a referral by my english teach just for passing a note to my friend. And a referral is when you do something extreme like punching a teacher or a student in the face or cussing. And I got a referral just for that! Are you serious?!?! And our voices aren't...
