5.0 Junior

6/8/2022

Swampscott High School has been a great experience. The friendships you make with friends and especially teachers are unforgettable. The friendships you form with teachers here make you feel comfortable and knowing you have someone to talk to in school makes it even better. It's not just about the grades in this school, they care about your mental and physical health and will do anything to help you get through your struggles.

SHS is a small high school with small classes and a pretty new building. They offer a lot of different electives and extra curriculars. There is not a lot of racial diversity but the school is very safe and comfortable for the LGBTQ+ community.

My experience with Swampscott High School has overall been okay. There has been a few hiccups along the way such as schedule problems but my problem is with a previous administration that did not take the topic of race seriously when approached by a student. The current administration is better and is taking steps to be better. Also Swampscott High School lacks in spirit and there isn't a huge feeling of community which is no one's fault in particular but it's just a little sad. It has gotten better over my years attending there as seen in our annual pep rallies(which are only for football so I have an issue with that).
