Quabbin Regional High School

Posted October 4, 2009

I started out my schooling in the Athol school district and hated it. Classes were too easy, so they were boring, I slacked off and didn't do as well as I could have. I got picked on something horrible, oftentimes coming home crying. Because of all my issues with Athol, I school choiced to Barre after 8th grade, and have never regretted the decision despite the longer drive. The classes are more challenging and the people are so much nicer than Athol. If I have ever done less than the best in a class it is because it challenged me to the level that I had issues doing top work because of it's difficulty. Quabbin is a great school and I am so thankful for everything it did to change things after Middleschool for me

Spends too much money on administration and not enough on students

I went to Quabbin and now I am in college. I am more prepared than some of the other students in my college classes. Quabbin has great dedicated staff, great art, music, and academic programs. People I met in college were shocked at the amount of elective classes I had, especially the amount of music and art classes offered. Many were also impressed with the extensive academic offerings and requirements, such as Global Perspectives. The student to faculty ratio is great compared to other public schools, and even in the bigger classes the teachers make sure they connect to the students as much as possible, and there is always extra help offered to those who aren't grasping the material from class alone. Quabbin is great, better than any other public school I have seen, and in fact my friends from other high schools say they wish they had what Quabbin had.

We have one child graduated from this school and another halfway through her time there. We've had very good experiences overall with very few exceptions, and those exceptions were handled well when brought to the attention of the administration. There is always something going on at this school as far as extracurricular activities, from long before the school day begins until well into the evening. QRHS even offers Chinese and Latin in addition to the standard Spanish and French languages, advanced math classes, physics, everything you could want.
