My experience with Scecina Memorial High school has been excellent. The classes I have taken have pushed me harder without making it unbearable. Once you get to know more people, it feels like a small-knit community. The counseling has been really helpful with the college process.

Scecina has been a wonderful experience for my children. Despite being a small school, it offers a diverse and evolving environment. One of the highlights is the accessibility of sports and clubs for everyone. For an urban private school, it feels safe. The teachers go above and beyond to accommodate the diverse population, ensuring that each student feels supported and valued. The new improvements to the campus are a bonus too.

I really enjoy the school spirit and diversity at this school. It is a really good school for everyone. I enjoy the sports and academics they give here. The teachers are pretty amazing. But to be honest the school lunch is pretty average.
