GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a person of color, being in a place like Maine can often be vulnerable. But I must say I had a fun experience. Though there isn't much diversity on staffs or teachers who you could go to, I was able to find one. The staff is very kind and care about kids. And I'm glad intervene in issues that need to be intervened. Such a fun and open highschool.

The teachers are extremely helpful and care about the well being of their students. The classes are also taught with rigor and value for education. The only drawback is the lack of diversity present in the school.

The teachers were top notch and had plenty of early office hours if you wanted to get up early. He is now in a top 20 school able to do the work and k...

My daughter is graduating this year, but she still does not know how to tell time or count money! I don't believe she should graduate.
