Staples has great academics and after school activities. The school is generally clean and most of the teachers are nice. There is a wide variety of classes to take, a lot of them are really interesting.
12/27/2024
Strong academics, but extremely competitive and has some teachers that are not all that great. Has lots of great extracurriculars, but some extracurriculars are extremely consuming and intense, far more than at an average school.

During my time at staples, I enjoyed the company of my teachers and peers while also being able to have fun while maintaining my grades.

When one of my kids bombed a test, the teacher sought her out and explained why. Since then she got straight A's. Extra curricular...
