Revere is a city on the North Shore of Massachusetts, about 5 miles northeast of downtown Boston along the Atlantic coastline. Its location on Revere Beach, the first public beach in the United States, has long made it a destination for visitors and a point of civic pride. The city is densely settled and urban in character, with a mix of older triple-decker neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and residential streets near the shore. The Revere Public Schools serve the community through Revere High School and the district's other schools.
