I've been to the school since kindergarten so I don't have much to compare it to. In my opinion this school has one of the best support systems. The teachers are always helpful to you, offering tutoring and 1 on 1 help to make sure you understand what they are trying to teach you. We have really small class sizes, so the teachers build relationships with us to get to know us and understand what we need and students. The worse thing about this school is the uniform. Our uniform used to be way more restrictive, but luckily now we have more options of what is acceptable, and we even get dress down days every Friday. Though we have a lot more leniency, I would still say the uniform is the worst part and that we should get rid of it completely.

I've been a part of the Paul Cuffee community since I was in kindergarten(now a high school senior) and this school cares about our education and learning. The teachers encourage us in doing our work and help us prepare for college.

In Paul Cuffee Upper School I liked the community. Always a caring and loving community towards one another. It is a community in which it is very easy to be in due to how welcoming they are. Always there to help, always doing there best to help you reach your goals.
