This was a truly unique learning experience on an unbridged island in Maine. Small student to teacher ratios, large community engagement, many hands-on learning experiences and field trips. We were able to learn at our own pace, which often meant moving beyond grade-level for math, reading, and vocabulary practice. Definitely prepared me for middle school and high school by fostering a love for learning and the skills to be a life-long learner.

My child has become depressed, anxious and her self-esteem has plummeted since attending this school. Peer pressure (clothes, weight, wealth) and bullying are rampant. And rather than helping, administrators point fingers at parents! Honestly, I think they are trying to bully us out of this school since my daughter is not a "high achiever" and actually needs help academically.

This school is absolutely excellent. I have attended private schools, public schools, and I have been homeschooled as well. Yarmouth has been the absolute best; it is such a community. Students are engaged in learning, and teachers respect the students. I love going to class because they are discussion based, and it's truly about learning and not just memorizing formulas and writing essays. My biggest class last year was 15 students. Every class is challenging, but students help each other stay motivated. The school offers many AP classes, and we have the highest SAT average in Maine (everyone in ME takes the SAT Jr year). Everyone in Yarmouth is involved with the school, and it is such a great place to be. The sports, play, music, and art are all strong (look at our website for the latest accomplishments). With only 500 students, Yarmouth is still able to compete with (and beat) schools that are much bigger in size (such as Cape Elizabeth and Falmouth). Yarmouth is unique, however, because it is down-to-earth and friendly with each other. Every student is involved somehow. The learning environment is excellent, and I couldn't ask for a better place to go to high school!
