Marshwood is a very open and welcoming space for everyone. I feel that they make everyone in our school feel heard and open to new ideas brought up by students.

Great school with pretty good teachers. Guidance counselor was amazing. Sport coaches could have been better. The physics teacher was so good I have decided to go to school for STEM because of him.

There is a huge drug problem at this school. All anybody seems to care about here is drugs! Eliot is a wonderful town to live in and all of the other schools in the district were great, but the High school is Insane! Frankly, I can't wait until I graduate so I never have to visit that place again.
