3.0 Junior

2/28/2025

My experience at Swampscott is strange,I'm a metco kid and I feel like some people there are very kind and accepting but then there's others who aren't accepting and it's annoying because we're all human too,I would like to see more diversity and everyone accepting everyone no matter who they are

Our school has a lot of great qualities, including teachers, opportunities for sports and other extra curricular activities, and academic opportunities.

4.0 Alum

12/18/2023

Overall, I would say that I enjoyed my time at Swampscott High School. I had the average or typical experience while attending the school. I encountered many incredible teachers who were passionate ab out their job and helping their students succeed not only in just their classes, but in life as a whole. I would like to see more school spirit and fundraising events at the school, as I feel a lot of school pride and spirit was lacking.
