This school more than adequately prepared myself and the vast majority of my classmates to be competent adults. The quality of teachers is great, but just like anywhere there will be one-offs. Westborough offered a tremendous amount of options of extracurriculars and specials. From a student's perspective - high school is what you make of it.

If you're moving here for the education, let me tell you it is not worth it. Westborough is very expensive and the high school is not worth your tax dollars. There's a decent amount of rude disrespectful teachers who are on a power trip. Bullying goes on in this school and some teachers let it slide. The work level and load gives so much stress to students that are detrimental to their health both physical and mental. I hated every minute over my 4 years there. I would never recommend going to Westborough school, I would recommend rather Algonquin or Shrewsbury high school.

A bullying palace for quite students. WHS is an over-credited school.

The whs ignores complaints about teachers, they give a nice speech about how much they care, our students come first, etc but it is all talk. The special ed needs a serious overhaul. The taxes we pay are not worth the education our kids get. They don't do the random drug screening, if they did some teachers would have been fired by now. The only time they do anything is if the person gets arrested. Not a school worth the taxes you pay to live here. If your kid requires more attention I strongly suggest you look at other schools. You will not get your money's worth here.

The high school seems to care only about a few students. Unless you fit their mold of a top student, or have documented special needs that they are legally required to address, you are lost and ignored in the vast middle.
