This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

7/31/2025

Mass Academy propelled me for college and beyond. Junior year was extremely difficult, but I am better because of it, and the connections and friends I made along the way helped me manage all the stress and work. The community was full of the most supportive, ambitious, smart, and kind people I have ever met, both students and teachers alike.

Rigor of academics prepares students for college, especially their senior year where they take classes at WPI. Faculty is very supportive and the school culture is very including.
