Not bad. Overall a nice and chill high school. People are nice and kind and chill. No one over the top or anything.

Waltham Senior High school has its pros and cons, it is a very diverse school which encourages inclusivity. However, the school is outdated and lacks resources that could help students excel in their college process. their student to teacher ration is imbalanced which also influences the quality of academics.

The teacher and staff at this school are always willing to help out in any way they can. There has been points that the staff were being unfair to students and neglecting race problems that were occurring. Regardless other teachers did come together to bring awareness to those problems and make students feel safe and heard.

It is also a great school that has great extra curricular activities. It allows you to try new things...
