Matignon High School

Matignon offers a variety of classes and sports for you to take part in. However, they do the bare minimum in helping a student get into college. I was poorly advised on SAT, GPA, and NCAA requirements that had to be met and when I asked I was given, 'That's your job to find out'. The athletic department is extremely weak. The AD does minimum work and doesn't care about success on the field, but only that the kids 'stay out of trouble'. There are several less then satisfactory coaches in the athletic department that leave the vast majority of parents upset. My experience with Athletics and the Administration has been cold to say the least, and I'm far from a trouble student. The kids are great, and the teachers are fantastic. However, it's not worth the tradeoff the weak support by the Athletics and Administration.

Mattignon has a reputation for excellence in academics as well as sports. Throughout the years several generations of many families have attended, and, continue to do so. Submiited by a former student

I am thrilled with the educational, sports, and extracurricular activities available at Matignon. My boys are thriving there. The teachers, coaches, and support staff are supportive yet firm. Respect is expected at all times from every student.The academics are very challenging but the support is there for the asking. The physical improvements to the school and playing fields are spectacular. A very involved parents group and alumni association add to the welcoming and supportive atmosphere. I feel lucky to have my kids attend Matignon.

Matignon High School is such a wonderful place to work! Not only are there beautiful things being built on the outside, but there are also beautiful relationships being built among the staff, students, parents, and administrators. I honestly love what I do and I am so proud to be a part of the Matignon community!

this is a great school for your kids to go to. There are going to be alot of improvements in the next couple of years. Take your child to matignon and have yourr child to shadow a freshman because they're new to the school and they will be able to relate to your child. So give this once great school a second chance you won't be disappointed.

My son is an international student. And, there were some difficulties at first to adjust to a new American culture and education system. However, the teachers and students there were so generous and supportive. Friendly atmosphere and rigor academic curriculum helped my son to enter one of the good colleges in the U.S.

enjoyable atmosphere but did not fully prepare my son for the rigours of college. He was a fine student in highschool and in college but the workload and teacher atmosphere was not what should be expected from a private school.

I am very pleased with the school spirit and the caring atmosphere. As a grandparent and guardian of a freshman, who suffered a great loss in the tragic death of his grandfather and guardian on the first day of school, I wish to thank all for the sympathy and caring toward my grandson. He loves Matignon and I am very proud of him. My daughter graduated in 1984 and is a Boston school teacher. The education she received at Matignon enabled her to graduate from college and get a masters degree. Bravo for Matignon, let's us all be behind the school and students.
