Some things that need to change at David Prouty High includes the education quality. As a senior, I've been here four years now and some of the teachers are very clearly unsure of what they're supposed to be doing or teaching, not possessing a strict teaching guideline or curriculum. Although the teachers are mostly super sweet and caring and personal to their students, they lack college preparedness,

I have not attended this school for very long, but I do enjoy going here. Everyone is super nice and I really appreciate everything they have done for me. My guidance counselor has put so much effort into getting me into college, and I find it very helpful. All the students and teachers were very welcoming when I started, and that was awesome.
