Francis T. Maloney High School
Francis T. Maloney: Maloney high school isn't a bad school, But choose Platt or Wilcox if you can... Maloney is kind of the "ghetto"school of Meriden. I remember being the only white person in some of my classes. That was awkward. It's not a bad school though. The teachers are all pretty good, There's some that aren't but every school has good and bad teachers, And your judgment of that is usually individual. The appearance of the school is nothing bad, Like it needs work But in the condition it's at it is perfectly functional, They recently painted it so it's a lot nicer but the desks and the ceilings are not so great, But that's understandable since they could use the money that would be spent on that for something way more important. So to put this all together MHS is a good school it has flaws just like every other school does, If i had the choice though i would of went to Platt high school.
