I'm currently a senior at CSW, and I have been here for all of my four years of high school. With…read morethat being said, I can confidently say that choosing CSW was the right choice for me. I am a first generation woman of color, and I grew up in a small town in Texas. Boarding at CSW was a very dramatic change for me, but it has also given me opportunities that I would have never imagined experiencing. I have had nothing but the most supportive and passionate teachers who are completely dedicated to my success. I have been given opportunities to travel and experience the world alongside my peers, and those memories are something that come once in a lifetime. I have made lifelong friends, and I watched our community grow alongside me. CSW has some of the most welcoming and passionate students, and that's because of the staff and faculty that mentor us.

I have heard nothing good above 5th grade, and the core challenge of the program is not having enough special needs kids to make a peer group for them socially. The teachers themselves are highly motivated and capable, mostly. If you want to know more and have a special needs child, I would be happy to talk more.

The individualized attention and excellent teacher-student ratios. One thing that other parents…read moreare sometimes surprised by is that we didn't need to switch to the public school for their "services." Our neurodivergent kids have all received excellent support. St. Mary's has a full faculty member for specialized education on staff, and she has a dedicated classroom for students who need to come visit her at any time. This teacher proactively emails me if my child has fallen behind on assignments. When our child entered St. Mary's and was only 3rd percentile in writing, she worked with him to catch him up to his peers - now he scores above the 85th percentile.

Now if you had gone to Chelsea High School like I did, you'd definitely think that the architects…read moreof the school are some of the biggest morons ever. This is a new school, completed in 1996. The design- there are two towers, designated a red tower and a green tower, and each is four-stories high. In between is a "connector" that joins the two tower together, and this is only two stories high. That means that if your next class is on the 4th floor of the green tower and you're on the 4th floor of the red tower, you'd have to go down to the second floor, go through the connector, then up the stairs to the green tower in 5-mins time frame. (I don't know if I was cursed or what but I have classes like that all four years.) Now with a student population of around 1500, there sure is heavy traffic at all times. Who are these architects kidding?? Do they live in Boston??!! Only after I'd graduated that they have an addition to the side and also repartitioning the existing building, which would help to accomodate the general flow of traffic and the student population more. Aside from that, I've met a great few influential teachers here, and no doubt, some bitchy ones too.

There are 4 words i can describe my overall time here at Roxbury prep from 6th to 12th grade:…read moreDepression. Anxiety. Humiliation. Anger. Before i get into any of this, i want to say some of the things i include here are based off of my personal experiences. In other words, in the aspect you will see, I'm speaking for myself. Another very important thing is this: The review i've written is like an essay. So if you are willing to read ALL of this, then...enjoy. If not, then keep on scrolling...idk. Let me just start off with the tip of the iceberg. I understand that this school is much more affordable than most others in this area and that's one thing that i do like about uncommon schools. However, its not always about the money, parents. Pay attention. The communication is TERRIBLE. It takes a miracle for somebody to answer an email. A text message at that. Before that, at the mission hill campus, they were more consistent in that area. However, as of now, not so much. Another major problem is the FOOD. I understand that school lunch isn't supposed to be the best cuisine ever. I hate to sound like a Karen, but whatever kind of things they serve here are just unacceptable. I highly doubt the things they serve here are even healthy at that. The hot dogs are GREEN, the pizza is SOGGY while the cheese is a completely different color. The mac n cheese is BURNT. I don't know how they were able to afford constructing a brand new building with even upgrading the food. An even BIGGER problem is the fact that every single morning we would have to wait outside the school all the way until 7:30. However, the teachers get to go inside before us. It doesn't seem that much of an issue until i tell you that we stay out there whatever the weather. We shouldn't have to wait that long just to enter the building. We should be let in when the school opens AT ALL. They should have enough time the night before, to prepare everything for the next day. And then you know its bad when your parent regrets putting you in a school like this. Its good to know i was right about complaining. Their PHONE policy. It hasn't been much of a problem up until the new building came around. Now, i know what you're thinking: "It's good for them to take phones away for the day, it provides less distraction and concentration!" I agree with that. But at the same time, it provides hazards. Something can happen, lets say a school shooting, a fire, or an emergency (god forbid) and then the students wouldn't be able to contact a parent or guardian. I'm talking about this because of the fact that these people were doing this from the start. And i personally just don't like it when my property is taken from me. But that's not the only reason why I'm talking about this. Now i will admit this happened because of me.. Because this school were having us put our phones in phone boxes, lots of people started to bring in burner phones. And of course i was among them. Long story short, i forgot to get my burner from the front office last day before winter break. So two weeks later, i returned back and asked for it. And when i did, i was able to get it back. For a second. Now they had to make sure it wasn't a burner. Me, not knowing if that device worked anymore, admitted it was indeed a burner. Next thing you know, these people are over here telling me that they cannot give it back just because. Now i understand its a fake phone, but Burner or not, that phone is still my property and should be returned to the rightful owner. During the last few days i tried asking the front office for the phone back due to the fact that it was the end of the year. Then they're over here telling me that they need to speak to the principle, which is STUPID. I remember when i was first enrolled into this school, i said i was gonna sue this school. So thanks, RPHS, now i have a reason to. Environment Now I'm sure any good parent wants their children in a safe learning place (i know if i was a parent myself, i would), where they don't have to worry about protection and safety. Especially if your children have been in good places before. If that is a big deal for you, DONT ENROLL THEM. During the 25-26 year, OVER 60 fights have taken place. The kids here are VIOLENT. People like them school a dangerous. Throughout my time, I've treated badly by other kids, at one point severely bullied to the point where we had to have a meeting with the dean, and gotten into fights. Authenticity They claim to do their job but they don't. Their so called "mission" is sending you to college. They only want to help you if it benefits THEM. They only help you if you go to the college they WANT you to go to. That's what they don't tell you. They keep all this a dirty secret So Roxbury prep is a good, strict disciplinary school that works hard to put you into college, right? And a fucking dangerous, ghetto, and pathetic excuse of an organization that deserves nothing but downfall.
