In my experience, Methuen High School has been a relatively good school. It generally depends on teachers for me, and there are many different personalities and teaching styles. Some teachers are amazing at helping me understand the content, but some are not and do not care either way. However, most have been accepting and kind to all students.

My overall experience at Methuen High School includes a mix of academic challenges, extracurricular activities like SNHS, and personal growth. The school environment, teachers, and friends have shaped my journey, preparing me for the next step in life which is pursuing nursing.

The overall experience that Methuen High School provides in no more and no less than what the Massachusetts education system strives for. We have excellent core Ed teachers that care for the well being of their students and have a passion for the learning. The resources and facilities that we are given are above and beyond than what surrounding schools have and allow for the students to reach for their dreams.
