This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

2/13/2022

Somerville High School is certainly above average in many regards, and if you know where to look, there are many great supports. My biggest problems is that most people don't know where to look, and no one is trying to help those people, they just say they need to "reach out" to get help themselves.

For the past few years, the school has been under construction, adding extra difficulties to student's learning.

A very diverse school, you learn to love to learn and adapt yourself to different cultures and religions. They care about you as a student and help is there if you look for it.
