Providence High School Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 469 reviews
Providence had lots of opportunities available to students and while it prepared us for college, provided you took honors and AP classes, there was not much support for students outside of the honors and AP tracks. The students are also working to increase support for athletics, as there is not much support from administration for the athletic teams. The arts departments are well funded and have lots of opportunities for students to get involved, and clubs in general are pretty accepting of all students.
Providence High School most definitely prepares you for college, but there are some challenges to going here. The academics are rigorous and move at a fast pace with little forgiveness for late work. I feel as thought some of my teachers don’t quite understand that I am a student enrolled at 7 classes at a time, and theirs might not always at the top of the list of work I have to fit into my limited time outside of school. As a sophomore, I have learned tons of skills, specifically in writing. I have learned so much more on how to become a better writer and truly feel as though it benefits me in every aspect of my academics.
Quite a few of my friends and I have experienced bullying here and when going to administration with the issue we felt unseen and unheard - the responsible parties essentially received a light scolding since they are athletes and hence 'untouchable'. They should also do something about all the rapists, it's a bit absurd how many of my friends have classes with someone they have been sexually assaulted by.
