Roxbury Preparatory Charter School
Jada DeJesus Lantigua Rosario the 1st: I would say that Roxbury Prep is the finest school in Massachusetts because over 90% of the students went to college and graduated and 80% went to graduate school it also helps people communicate with eachother more properly, it is strict and fair at the same time but mostly fair because it has 7 periods 6:40 - 5:30 pm while having 3 breaks for each student to get their minds refreshed and have a smile on their faces.
I should know this because my daughter goes there and she used to be a saddist but now she's a more cheerful person then u think.She helps people in need, stands up for what is right, and gets A+ on everything I am really grateful to that school for changing my precious Jazmin's head.
