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.

Rowe School has been wonderful for my child, very communicative staff. My child had some special needs which they worked hard to address. The school tends to social development as much as academics, and they do it extremely well. Beautiful facilities, great teachers, a very happy place!

We have utilized multiple school systems within multiple states. We have found big differences with other areas of the country. It really opened our eyes! Yarmouth Elementary School is Phenomenal. The principal, office staff, teachers and guidance are extremely attentive and make the transition go smoothly. They have a wonderful team approach! I feel, the principal is the key to a smooth running operation. While we were driving a very long distance, the principal is talking to us via her cell phone assuring us it would be a smooth transition! We were stressed and fatigued! We walked into the office, guided us, introduced us to staff and completely made us feel at ease. The principal immediately brought in services that were needed. It was a seamless transfer. This attention continued through out the year. The entire school has been outstanding including Music, Art and Physical Education! We are extremely lucky to be a part of this wonderful school.

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!
