Switching into MHS was honestly a great choice. Teachers were accepting and quick to make me feel welcomed. Never in any other schools have teachers shown so much care and worry for their students and their success. Although a lack of diversity, the community is small and depending on your grade can be split or very tight together.

Monson High School is what I imagine as the "default" nice high school. It is hard to find negatives aside from nitpicks, as the staff, students and classes are all kind and well put together. This is offset by a true lack of shining points outside of faculty and the small selection of students.

An underfunded but fairly resourceful school. It has very small class sizes, so if you like that, I'd recommend it. The school has many truly amazing teachers, and I made good friends here.

Interesting place that has the priority set on adding another sports team when budget cuts are impacting academics interesting priority. MCAS results, nice, but do they tell the real story, what about the kids that were sent out of district---seems to be a bid gap between the middle school and high...
