What people do not realize is that the middleschool and highschool are two separate schools. I am currently a senoir at the highschool and I am in the top15 with an 'A' GPA. While attending the middle school, I was a failing student because the teachers lacked ability to teach, and the multiaged class
... Read more 'teams' were horrible. 8th graders should be taught different and more advanced materials than 6th graders and not about 'sports' for an entire trimester. My point is that Maranacook Middle School is not a good school, but Maranacook High School is. I would not want to go to another school. The teachers are the best, Especially Mr.D (Physics Teacher) and the administration helps keep you in a safe environment. The Guidance office also gives so much help whether you need help with college-bound issues, your current classes, or you have problems at home. Maranacook is the best. Read less

Many of the teachers are exellent and you are lucky to have them but the way the have looped them i don't believe works.

I am very disappointed with this school system. There are no rules and the kids run the show. I feel my children are not safe. My children will not go to this school ever. My oldest did go through the middle school and it ruined his freshman year. He was not prepared and barely passed. He needed

I'm happy to say that I'm proud to be graduating in the spring of 2005 from Maranacook Community High School. Not because highschools over but I'm proud that I went to this certain high school for four years. Maranacook is not like most schools. We have friendly faces, and a great staff. It's so great

I just want to say that Maranacook not only prepared me for the 'real world', it gave me an opportunity to explore and expand my knowledge base, in a supportive environment. If it wasn't for Maranacook's support, I would not be as successful as I am today. --1992 graduate Las Vegas, NV

I graduated from Maranacook, and I even though the community enviroment around the school is great with parent envolvement, the enviroment with administrators is discoridging. There is no way, as a student, to be invovled in what is happening in the school, there is sports and things, but if you would

It is embarassing to see how much effort they try to make it seem like its a great school, and to see how much students really don't matter, just as long as they get the accredidation and tax money. Students are not a priority to the administrators at Maranacook, even though the teachers might create a great supporting enviroment, there is not much backing it up. Read less

My daughter goes to the middle school. I agree that some of the things they learn are meaningless!

I agree with the two previous reviews regarding the integrated style of learning, I'm a senior in the high school and I had the option to take this program, or solid one, I chose solid, and was very happy. Now they only offer the integrated learning or 'core' classes, and in my opinion, based on my assumptions,

Read more and the students who have come out of these programs, it's not a good method for most students, some do real well, but now the middle school makes all students take the intgrated classes, and they don't learn things in a way that helps them in the high school. This has also gotten rid of all advance level courses in the middle school, which significantly how far along the curriculum students can go by the time they graduate. I'm suprised more parents don't become seriously concerned with this issue. Read less
