  1. #1 Best High Schools for Athletes in MassachusettsSt. John's PrepDanvers, MA·Private School·6-12·Rating 4.51 out of 5 152 reviewsParent: My son was accepted as freshman to high school at St. Johns Prep. It has a wonderful admissions team and faculty. As part of open house I visited and enjoyed some of the teaching as I participated in class room activities and short lessons they had prepared to give as part of open house. The way the physics, English and History was taught - interactive, with discussions was wonderful. The history teacher actually has a very wonderful method of teaching - by showing political cartoons and the discussions are based around that. I also heard that the food is great!

Deerfield's primary focus is on its athletic programs: lacrosse, football, and rowing. It is telling that the head admissions officer is also the lacrosse coach, a dual role that reveals the undue emphasis placed on sports over academics.If you want your kids to go to the same school, do not gamble on Deerfield. Their sibling policy sucks. Truly the worst admission departs of all the 10 boarding schools I experienced. They do not need you and that is how they act, arrogant.Deerfield's college admissions outcomes reflect a troubling bias towards sports and financial clout.

Sebs' focus on character, service, and faith while also focusing on excellence in academics, writing, public speaking, and leadership is unmatched among ISL schools. It's a school with a strong moral compass, incredible academics and athletics, but still centered around faith and service for others.

Academically I feel very prepared for college. College Counseling has walked every one of us through the application process so all of us can submit our best work, and even in the classroom teachers focus on critical thinking and understanding the material over memorizing the answers—even in AP classes. Coaches demand excellence on and off the playing field, which aligns with the school's mission and helps every athlete feel welcome. However, implementing any type of change requires jumping through a lot of hoops, and it is not uncommon for ideas to be rejected without any apparent reason.

I came into 9th grade as a reclass, meaning my first year at Middlesex was going to be my second time completing a freshman level of education. Right away I realized that this school was academically rigorous, especially the English department. Middlesex holds itself to a high standard in the writing and analysis of English education. We were taught to forget everything that we thought we knew about writing and follow a new set of complicated but enriching guidelines. Sophom*ore students are required to take a pass/fail writing workshop class which focuses on improving analysis, transitions, and developing ideas thoroughly. Besides their English department, the school allows its students to pursue higher -level classes as long as they complete their requirements. There is no such thing as an "easy" class at Middlesex, as even elective classes are challenging and require as much attention as some of my AP -level classes. My time here: 9.4/10...

The campus is stunningly beautiful, the teachers are down to earth and committed to their students, and the student body has amazingly talented individuals.
