I’ve went to this school from fifth to eighth. I dealt with bullying since 6th grade for no reason. They would take pictures of me and record me for no reason other to scare me, I told every single principal we had my dad even came in and nothing happened. The breaking point came when the main bully showed everyone videos of me and I broke down. I now deal with frequent panic attacks when I go out in public and I shake really badly. I now go to a private school- In my experience these kids pick on every student with differences. If I would rate this school a -100000 or of ten I would. The only teacher that made my life worth while at that school was mrs Murphy and Mr schlosser in 8th grade (thank you). I am writing this as this school deserves none of its profits if it can’t even report illegal activities let’s be honest here? I was even told I was LYING, and my friend was being touched in the bathroom and THEY TOLD HER THAT TOO- if you care for your kids please never go here, travel out to Ellsworth or blue hill. Don’t put your kids through this. - signed a teen with ptsd symptoms

OK, I’m just gonna start off saying I don’t know if it’s the same now or not but when I went to school there 10 years ago, the special education teachers were NOT ok if you want your kid with special needs to go to a good school don’t bring them here multiple times as a kid they would lock us in a room and wait it out till we stopped crying while they laughed and let us hit ourselves and put holes in the wall etc they didn’t care and loved it, it seemed..don’t know why they would let this happen to almost every student but they did :( at least the ones in special ed and that same teacher I saw him out of that school when I was older and he wouldn’t even look at me once and once he did, he didn’t even smile and just walked away. Again not sure if it’s the same but even the principal then was just awful and ruined many friendships
