In my opinion, this school focuses a lot on sports and not the same attention goes onto academics. A lot of people feel left out if they don't play sports.

I liked that most of the teachers were progressive, and respected my pronouns and identity. I wish we had more gender neutral bathrooms, however I understand that in rural maine that can be an issue.

Even though there was a pandemic I was able to go to my auto class and keep going. This school offers some great trades classes such as plumbing, auto, culinary and marketing. For the students that are not college bound they offer great classes to get kids excited to try a trade. The teachers are really engaged in what they are teaching the students and my friends and I enjoyed going to the classes. There are a lot of sports offered.
