3/1/2025
Norwell High School is a good school. The size of it is both a good thing and a bad thing. I think since the school has only 600 kids in it, they can become very cliquey, but also it is a good thing because more attention from teachers and administration can be put on each individual student. I think the high school is in a good location and is not a stressful environment more than it should be.

Norwell High School is a small community so reaching out for help is very easy. Our teachers are dedicated and want the best for their students. The academics can be harsh but I felt very prepared for college. There is something for everyone at Norwell High School. If you want to be in band or want to be part of a sports team then there are endless possibilities for you. Clubs and activities are promoted to all grade levels. The best part of my high school experience was the people. I loved my teachers and class sizes were small so I was able to become close to all my classmates.

Oh where to begin. From cheering to laughter to empathy from peers and just overall a great community I am so glad I got to attend Norwell High School. Over the years I have had a great experience not only with the academics but with the others who attend as well. There is always a helping hand wherever you turn whether it's a teacher or a student. Yet I would love to see more progression in the mental health concept and have more resources that people feel comfortable to use. This school has barely any diversity but the students that attend have great respect for anyone who enters a classroom. I'm sad my NHS years have come to an end but I will always remember this high school as a growing and reflection period of my life.

A th g about this high school is it looks and is treated like a jail. The lunch room is closed early for 3rd lunch leaving 3rd lunch eaters in a rush because they are shutting the doors. The lunch menu also always says something different then what is actually served

This school offers a great learning experience for all. From the teachers to the courses offered, this school does not cease to help its students toward a flowering future!

Excellent teachers, curriculum, & sports. Carefully raised students, respectful & supportive. Feels more like a private school than public with great reputation amongst NE colleges.
3/26/2014
Norwell High School offers the best of the Norwell community. An inclusive atmosphere, caring staff and students, creates a superior education in both academics and critical life lessons. Students are appropriately challenged in the classroom, on the field and on the stage.
