The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I think Shrewsbury High School and the Shrewsbury public school system in general has decent resources as the town is made mostly of upper middle class families. However increasingly in my years at these schools I have seen more and more concerning issues regarding racism in the schools between students which the administration clearly does not do enough to stop as it get worse every year.

Overall, I really liked high school. I feel like I grew a lot not only as a student but also as a person. Throughout high school, I pushed myself to take the hardest classes and I don't regret it. I was able to have amazing teachers. Specifically, I feel like I got really lucky with my math teachers as I loved every one of them. Extracurriculars-wise, there are so many students at shs so clubs and sports are a great way to meet them. I also was able to find different community aside from my friend group through extracurriculars.

It was overall pretty good, most teachers worked very well, although not all. There is always a lot of extra help available if needed. Lots of after school activities are offered as well. There is a great variety of sports teams, and there are also many clubs available to join.
