School Reviews
4   2/10/2020
I had very positive experiences at Medford High School from 2012 to 2016, but noticed that the quality of the education was much higher if you were in Honors/AP classes versus standard classes, both because of the teachers and the classroom culture students created. On a separate note, the vocational school is not.1 miles away. The two buildings are literally connected. You could, in fact, refer to them as one building.
