Spotswood High School is a good enough school for the town's size. The school is small and the hallways are a bit jammed with students when switching classes. I would like to see teachers and guidance counselors motivating students more. I would also like to see more classes catered to specific areas of interest.

I loved the small school feeling of it. I always felt at home, and I also felt like I was always safe.

The teacher are really nice and always helpful, most of them have after school help. There's a lack of electives, but the offered ones are great. The school is small in a way that allows for a tight knit community.
