This good was a very good environment. Going to a trade school is different from going to a regular high school. However because it's a trade school they did not primarily focus on academics which I noticed affected me as I got into college. I found myself not knowing things I should know. However, I made many friends who I still talk to today and was on the cheer team which was a fun and different experience. I didn't have any bad memories.

The school is great, it needs more extracurricular activities. I love Worcester Tech, this school has provided a shop a experience I loved. But the school needs more clubs to engage more students.

Worcester Technical Highschool is a great school to prepare students more work experience, and having a more hands on experience into different careers that might interest you. And this school provides students better opportunities to be on work sites for co-op, or have better chance to get into college. I love the people I met here and I believe these are friends I will have for a life time because of this school, and now I believe my future will be bright because of Worcester Tech.

Worcester Tech should get a higher score than a THREE. The principal got a national award and it won a blue ribbon for education. I don't think this "false information" should be shown to people. At least keep your stats updated.
