GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Somersworth is a great school because of the connections that you can make with the teachers that work there since the student population is so small. I do wish that the school offered more AP's, I feel that its a little bit harder to get noticed at somersworth than it would be if I went to a school like Dover high or STA since we're so much smaller.

I have never thought that growing up in a small community would make me feel so at home. i grew up with a small class of 107 students, and I felt that a sense of community, was the strongest aspect of our high school. I am proud to call myself an alum of this small, but very impact-full school.

School is a joke. Senior curriculum is equal to that of a freshman at St. Thomas, Coe Brown, Oyster River and Newmarket. Statistical records show school is 79% white and 3% mixed race. More like 3% white and 79% mixed. There are no ethics, morals or manners in this City. There’s a solid reason why t...

As a student of the freshman class, I feel like the teachers are more confusing than genuinely helpful and the student community (especially class of 2022) is...bad. Real bad. Also quarter-long classes should not be a thing whatsoever. All classes should be semester or year long instead. The student...
