2020 Best Schools in Oxford CountyAbout this List

Gould Academy

• Private School
• Bethel, ME
• 9-12
• 23 reviews

Sophomore: Coming from public school, Gould gives me a completely new environment to learn in. What's always struck me as the biggest difference is the environment- everyone is genuinely helpful and polite, and there is a culture of genuine respect that's helped me focus on my education. Other than SATs and ACTs and other college admissions tests, there is no standardized curriculum or testing, so the departments work to create their own curriculum based on students' performances in past years. Experiential learning has a big place, and classes will often cross over or connect between subjects and teachers. Academic subjects are presented in ways appropriate to modern culture and society, and students are encouraged to have active discussions in relatively small classroom settings. The school is a bit limited in opportunities for clubs and groups because of its small size (at least compared to most public schools), but there are definitely some of those opportunities there.

Hebron Academy

• Private School
• Hebron, ME
• 6-12
• 81 reviews

Sophomore: Going to Hebron was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the moment you arrive on campus, you are instantly apart of a dysfunctional family. You will become close with people from all around the world, and experience new emerging experiences that you never thought you would have, otherwise. Whether you enjoy rigorous academia, hope to play a sport competively in college, want to experience new cultures, or just are looking for something different, Hebron has a place for everybody! I have no regrets coming to Hebron Academy, and I feel more prepared than ever to further my education and life experiences beyond High School.

Fryeburg Academy

• Private School
• Fryeburg, ME
• 9-12
• 87 reviews

Junior: Fryeburg Academy is a great school with a close-knit community, excellent academics and various opportunities in clubs and sports. Teachers are very passionate and dedicated, they always make classes interesting and engaging. Both in and out of the schoolroom, my personal voice is heard and valued. FA offers many advanced placement, college level, and honors courses, and I greatly enjoy the academic challenge. Clubs vary from jazz and vocal ensembles to cultural and international activities to competitive Math Team and Robotics Club. People here are very supportive, and school spirit is strong. I came to FA as an international student, and absolutely love my time here!

Buckfield Junior/Senior High School

• Regional School Unit No. 10 (MSAD 10), ME
• 7-12
• 11 reviews

Senior: When I moved to this school in eighth grade I realized that I was nervous all for nothing. I like how this school is so small so you can meet people quickly, and eventually know everyone in the school. This small population of school also offers students more time with the teachers. I also like how the school of Buckfield offers many hands-on activities because of its location. We have our own garden, greenhouse, and sugarhouse. These hands-on activities can help you learn in an exciting way.

Alum: Overall I did like SVHS, however the administration seems to have their priorities a little mixed up and the students are treated like 5 year olds.

Senior: I am glad to have gone to a school in such a tight knit community. Whenever things seem to go south, everyone comes together in order to improve the problem. The college readiness portion of the school needs to improve immensely, classes are not as challenging as they should be except for a select few. Most teachers and staff would do anything for you after creating a strong bond.

Parent: Guy E. Rowe School may not look like some of the new and improved elementary schools, but the teachers and staff certainly make up for the old building and wear and tear. The environment is friendly and inviting and they are extremely supportive of ALL students (even ones who are a little quirky like mine :)). Thank you, Guy E. Rowe, for all you do.
