The community was good, but because it was a small school we did not have many ap classes. There was also a lot of racism in the school.

Somers High has a great environment and the teachers make me feel welcome. The teachers make sure you understand the content and if you don't, they are very approachable and it is easy to ask for help. Great learning environment, however when it comes to after school activities, they only offer select sports and clubs. This makes it hard to find an extra-curricular that everyone is interested in. Overall, a great place to go to school and it is safe and comfortable.

I loved the teachers and the curriculum was very challenging. I loved my time in the science research club and the swim team was amazing - the amount of after school activities and opportunities for students was very wide. There is, however, a lack of diversity and there was some bullying as well as over competitiveness with grades.

Most of the teachers do an excellent job. The administration is abysmal, though, and show no ability to lead their school. It's obvious the principal doesn't care about his students when he even plagiarizes a letter to students about protesting recent gun violence in schools. The bad administration...
