We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There is a big perfectionist culture here, especially created by the grading system. People are generally very stressed out about their grades, although I appreciate that the school doesn't rank students other than naming the valedictorian and salutatorian.

It is a good school, it has good name value we send out students to various top universities but there is still room for improvement it lacks diversity and school spirit. I am one of 5 Black people at my school so it can feel kind of isolated but. They are good people we can just do better. We also have a very underwhelming amount of school spirit we don't show up a lot to our home football games unless the game is massive even though our teams are really good in various amount of sports

Academically rigorous to a fault, students are immersed in a grade obsessed culture rather than actually learning material. There is an underlying stigma that anything less than an A means you're a failure.

There were no cliques, but some harmless grouping of students. Falmouth is one of the wealthiest towns in Maine, but also has large rural...

+ Strong focus on fundamental teaching as opposed to teaching-to-a-test. Top quality teachers who generally have 10-20+ years experience. Still relatively small class sizes, despite growth over the past 10 years. + Challenging course work for all levels of students + Opportunities to take "real worl...
