The academic offerings at Pembroke Academy was substantially satisfying compared to other small public schools in the area. I enjoyed almost all of my teachers and classes while attending Pembroke Academy as they thoroughly enjoyed the work they were doing and assisted the students with anything they needed which included personal matters. I believe the structure of the school in terms of layout and general wear of the facilities offered could be improved but I understand that it's lack of budget prevents it from making repairs and modern updates in relation to other schools. The Chromebook initiative in particular, which offered free Chromebooks to all incoming freshmen at Pembroke Academy, pleasantly surprised me as a way of lowering barriers within education between varying social economic classes and I strongly support their decison even though upperclassmen did not receive these benefits. I also believe the administration sufficiently prepares students for post graduation.
Pembroke Academy is a public school in Pembroke, New Hampshire; a small school with a small student body of about 800. The school has an easy to maneuver layout, with everyone socially being close because of the small number of students. Kids from 4 surrounding towns attend this school, and the distance between them is quite small. It lends nicely to a small town high-school scene. The curriculum is nothing impressive. The school offers a total of 5 AP courses at a time, not being very centered around higher education. The food quality is terrible as well, but what can you expect from a public school. The school’s board members led the school into over $1.4 million of debt, while still no one knows where that money went. I don’t like the feeling of power the administration has over the school system, especially during a time like COVID-19.
Pembroke Academy may seem like it's not a very good school because of the size. It is very small but after being there for just a year, you know it is much more. The teachers and staff are supportive and welcoming to all students. Guidance counselors will help all students with questions and help them reach their goals, even if the student isn't theirs. Teachers involve current issues and topics into their lessons. Many teachers also try to prepare students for the real world. Sports and arts are treated equally. This high school isn't a stereotypical high school, it's much better.
