Worcester Academy is overall a very good school, however the fundraising process is messy and could be easily streamlined. I think processes should be made more efficient and simple.

I have 2 children that have grown so much socially, intellectually and loved their experiences they have had there. The varsity sports have not always had experienced coaches which we wish they had. They commute 40 minutes each way and route 290 can have a lot of traffic at times.

I begged my parents to pull me out after my freshman year. 8 others in my class just could not take it anymore either. Since I started every kid was a stuck-up, rich, k...

I've noticed that the negative reviews all have misspellings and severe grammatical errors. Perhaps you just were not smart enough to be at WA, but that is no reason to be bitter at the school. It is an incredible academic environment, and is unlike most prep schools that have an air of entitlement....
