Nantucket High School is inclusive and a safe place for every student to be themselves. Even though Nantucket housing can be a big reason why teachers suffer with housing instability, us students are still provided great knowledge I'm all fields of study. The school also preps us really well for future career goals and accomplishments.

Nantucket High School is nice but it is ruined due to how people treat the school and that results in how the teachers end up treating the students over a long period of time.

What I like about the school is that most of the people here know each other and we help each other no matter what grades we are in. Everyone is really nice, kind, and helpful, and the teachers do a really good job of helping out with school work or any other problems.
