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.

I think overall I have had a really good experience with this school, it has really gotten me prepared for college however the administration could do a better job with handling certain situations. However in general you really have a great support system and you have a strong relationship with your teachers.

This school has been a wonderfully warm and supportive place for my highly motivated and high achieving child. We moved to this district for Souhegan and I will not move away until both my kids have graduated, despite a long commute to work and other exciting job opportunities. I'd rather have my ki...
