About this House
Welcome to 28 Tarbox Drive, a charming 3 bed, 2bath Cape-style home nestled in scenic Exeter.

The finished basement with a woodstove provides additional living space with plenty of storage. This home captures a “peaceful country yet not remote” feel. Living areas flow naturally to the outdoors — imagine sipping morning coffee on the porch or holding summer cookouts on the deck. The walk-out basement bonus rooms add versatile space without expanding the footprint above. With mature trees surrounding the lot, privacy and tranquility are key features here.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wish I could give more than 5 stars! My non-verbal autistic son attends kindergarten here and I’ve been overwhelmed by the support and care we receive. From the bus drivers, the special needs teachers, the speech therapist, the class room teacher and TAs, this school is outstanding. My son loves school and we are thrilled with his progress. He has friends, and the other kids are kind and inclusive.Parent Review3y ago - Metcalf School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is a huge disappointment. The bullying and targeted racism that occurs against the few children of color that attend this school is unbelievable. If your family is not a "traditional" family (white, mom and dad in the same household) steer clear of this school and the EWG school system.Other Review4y ago - Exeter-West Greenwich Regional Junior High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI switched my oldest son to homeschooling to escape this terrible school system. My middle child just turned 3 a couple weeks ago and I'm already being terrorized by some horrible rude women scheduling non-mandatory child outreach assessments she's harassed me and even caused such a stink to his preschool over it he was kicked out of school! Every school in this district is manned by the most petty, immature, catty drama queen. Its almost like being that type of mentally disturbed bully is a pre-requisite of any administrative position in the whole school system. The senior high has one of the worst I've ever had the displeasure of having to speak with. Until dealing with this child outreach maniac Robin corsee? Not sure the last name but god what a monster.Parent Review9y ago - Exeter-West Greenwich Regional High School
