Horrible kids are bullied not only by peers but staff. Instead of molding young children if your child is not little soldiers they are labeled. If they had there way every active child would be on add or adhd meds! Very high turn over rate! Maybe that needs to be looked into! It’s not the pay! Teachers do not have a voice and if they speak up they are let go. Seems the SAU does not care what the real issue at hand is! Disgusts me!

"I drive over crappy roads for 20 of my 45 min commute to work. It’s about 30 minutes from everything- Concord, Rochester, Dover, Laconia. Great if you have friends and family in the area but can feel isolated if not."
