Senior: I think that college prep needs to begin much sooner in your high school career, even beginning freshman year. Further, I think there should be significantly increased clarity in what you are expected to have for college applications, extra curriculars, SAT subject tests, community service, etc. I think there should be more support offered for filling out the common app, perhaps even a few mandatory sessions in school in place of regular classes. Otherwise the teachers are incredibly kind and rigorous academics are offered.... Read 113 reviews

Sophomore: The teachers genuinely care about their students, and because of the size, students are able to build a good relationship with their teachers.

Niche User: I went to east Belfast for 6 years and couldn’t be happier with my experience there as a child! I remember swinging in the swings and playing in the monkey bars. My favorite year was my year of first grade, I had the best teacher!... Read 7 reviews

High School Freshman: I had opportunities to go to other, more "renown" schools. I chose to stay at Searsport. I find the small school atmosphere like that of a second family. We support each other. For those who have bad home lives, it's home. Academically, I am challenged - the Standards-based education is fluid and flexible and allows you to be sitting in a classroom that can be grades ahead of your actual "grade-level" if you excel in that subject. The hands-on approach to learning is engaging. From boat-building to CAD for robotics to monitoring clam beds on Sears Island to CSI/forensic classes...simply put: they rock! There are some stellar teachers, here, and an ever-expanding list of activities that students can be involved in. Most recently, the school added a Sailing Program and a Competitive Robotics Team....
