This School’s Reviews

4.0 Alum

11/5/2024

it was a pretty decent school, I feel ahead in my math and English classes in college thanks to the building blocks from this school.

5.0 Senior

1/31/2024

There is a very strong sense of community in the high school with strong commitment from students and teachers. Many families do supplement education with external resources.

4.0 Alum

7/5/2023

Had a good preparation for college as was in the college tract. Female Guidance counselor was useless. She told me to go to secretarial school after being out the majority of sophomore year due to repeated surgeries. Had tutors and went to Summer School to bring grades up to a B. Went back after graduation from college from Boston University with honors and left a copy of my degree and transcript on her desk. The continuing problem then and now us lack of diversity in the student population. The ridiculous amount of housing costs us keeping minorities out of this town.

The other reviews on this page are old and somewhat outdated. Winchester High School has been in a newly renovated building since 2018. School spirit is high, sports are great (aside from the current CoVid pause). The main reason to consider this school is its possible to excel in it. Yes, there are...
