I would like to see more course options that relate to Black History and Civil Rights. There is also an urgent need for administrators and most teachers to start caring more about inequities present in the community, as most student-led advocacy work was met with denial and pushback.

R.W Traip academy has great teachers that definitely want to and try to help students succeed but it's hard for them because we're a small school and don't have a lot of resources. I also feel that we don't have any real-world classes and so this school isn't preparing us for the real world. I think we should add classes that teach us how to live on our own and deal with what the outside world will throw at us and how to deal with healthcare and financial things like taxes.

This school has a lot of diversity and loves to create a happy and safe environment; However, they need to work on their academics. The schools lacks diversity in the terms of classes. They have the basic classes that every school needs to have but they do not have any fun academics that help students really find what they are passionate about. For example; Home economics, poetry, or creative writing.

Had 2 kids graduate from Traip and go on to top tier colleges. Traip is small and the teachers and staff know all the kids and families. We had been in large school districts prior that might have had better "amenities" , but my kids THRIVED when we moved to Kittery.

Great school in a wonderful district. Their small size and focus on educating the whole child is evident across the district.
