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

The teachers are very nice and understanding. The teachers are very good at working individually with everyone. There is very little diversity in Swampscott high school. The kids are somewhat nice. I joined the school half way through my high school career so it was difficult to integrate into a place where everyone already knows each other. Over all I would give the school a 7/10.

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.
