For the most part, my experience has been decent. My only issue so far is the lack of support regarding my ADHD and APD (auditory processing disorder). I tend to struggle a lot with focus and managing schoolwork while being an honors student and a high level athlete. My school will not allow any sort of support for me because of my "grades" therefore I definitely do struggle. Besides that I feel like the school is decent.

Somerville High School is a school flooded with 150 year old tradition. but just like the school, the infrastructure and the administration is old and fragile. They had good resources, but no big changes to make the school better. Having a better art program would be much appreciated. Having a better counselor to student ratio would be better, especially as there is quite a big gang affiliation in the school.

I attended Somerville High School for the past 4 years. It was fun, I made life-long friends but, I am very glad to be leaving that school.
