South Shore International College Prep High School Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 122 reviews
I think that this school that's not just about hitting the books but also about making sure you've got the coolest extracurriculars to dive into. Now let’s talk about the teachers. Super supportive, like your personal cheer squad! And the students are a tight-knit crew who look out for each other. The place has got a vibe that's all about being inclusive and encouraging everyone to shoot for the stars. Plus, the facilities are top-notch, making it a sweet spot to learn and hang out. It's the kind of school that makes you actually want to get up in the morning!
My high school experience was okay, not the best because I would say my school community isn't really good. The staff members students can talk to are really nice but they're aren't many to talk to. I would say my school also isn't good at preparing students to get really for college, I am struggling now. I still don't know what college I'm going to and there is only 6 days until we graduate. So I would say my school needs to work on preparing students and having a better community for students.
Overall the school is decent but needs lots of changes. The staff at the school is little lazy when it comes to the students safety (fights). Also when it comes to keeping the school clean; though the students can be dirty which makes it harder for the staff to keep the school clean. But the principal and staff do try hard to make the school fun even though the students can be hard to manage. I want to see the staff and principal listen to the students regards more because we genuinely have concerns on how to make the school a better place, but it's often put to the side. Sometimes the staff/ principal favors or rewards certain grade levels more than the other grade levels that are actually doing what they need to do academically and sports wise. I also need them to be more organized when it comes to giving out information to students. Often times we have to ask teachers what we are supposed to be doing on special event days, and the teachers would also be confused on the schedule.
