Overall, students and parents from Marshwood view the school as an extension of an otherwise healthy and flourishing community. For many years I looked at South Berwick as a place to escape from, but now have come to find it is an excellent place to raise a family.

Caring teachers and staff, and welcoming school community.

This school and it’s program should be decertified. 6th, 7th and 8th grade students are at a minimum of 3 years behind other schools in the State of NH. My 6th grader has had 0 (ZERO) homework assignments and my 8th grader had homework on probably 6 total days last year. Children’s curriculum is all over the place. Every quarter they are in new classes with material that isn’t even worthy to be taught. Some 6th graders can’t spell, some can’t add and some don’t even know the correct order of months in the year. Absolutely disgusting as are many of the children attending this school. Most are from mixed and broken homes and leads to the disruption of anyone trying to learn. Low income is reported as 35% on this web site. The poverty level in Somersworth is hovering around 70%. The only careers these children are being prepared for is McDonalds, Walmart or factory work. Plus, from what I’ve seen so far the high school is even worse. If you’re thinking of moving to Somersworth and have school aged children, all I can say is DON’T! Move to another school district or if you have to live here, send your kids to a private school. Once they’ve gotten to middle school they’re ruined academically and wouldn’t stand a chance moving to a 7th grade private school where they are finishing a 6th grade with 8-9 year old curriculum.
