This School’s Reviews

3.0 Junior

11/5/2024

Doherty recently got a new building, obviously giving them a great new look to the public. Certain things have improved but the school as a whole is just a boring highschool, especially when based in Worcester.

3.0 Senior

6/4/2024

My overall experience with Doherty has been a fun one. Meeting new people who may be with me for the rest of my life, getting me ready for college, and giving me skills I will use later on in life.

4.0 Junior

6/27/2023

It was an overall great experience compared to my other school which didnt have as much opportunitys as Doherty. Along with early college, national honors society, and so much more.

Solid school that is being rebuilt! Unfortunately due to the high “diversity” Worcester schools rank a bit lower than the surrounding towns. Strip out the low achievers and you have solid students that consistently get into top colleges. Teachers are ok. Back when I attended, some of the teachers ma...

Horrible! Setup is for failure. Lots of bullying, infringement on first admendent rights and poor quality staff.

The physical plant is 50 years old and shows signs of wear but there is no lack of enthusiasm by the teaching staff or the students. Consistently outscores statewide average. Very sociable and accepting student body with several large student groups that are subtly competitive culturally and academi...
