Parent: My son has had an incredibly positive experience at Lawrence Academy. The teachers are wonderful and nurturing; and the advisor program encourages involvement and good study habits. Lawrence Academy is a community rich with actives; arts and music, athletics, clubs, charitable events as well as leadership opportunities. The staff and administration are continually providing many different ways for students to become involved, promoting the diverse interests of all the students. By joining the soccer team his freshman year, my son made lots of great friends very quickly, both other freshman and upper class-men. He has found LA to be a warm and welcoming environment. Lawrence is a great balance of academics, activities and community. I'm so thankful to have found this perfect place for my son to grow and develop throughout his high school years. I would highly recommend LA!... Read 50 reviews

Senior: When I first started at ASD in sixth grade, I was determined to go somewhere else for high school. Now, I'm a senior, and staying was the best choice I ever made. ASD might be small and nerdy, but it has an incredible community. The teachers aren't there for the money; they're there because they're passionate and knowledgeable. The students all know and support each other. We're best known for our academics, and for good reason. The high-school-level classes start in 7th grade, and they remain challenging and innovative all the way through 12th. Overall, ASD was ranked the number one high school in NH, and it truly is....

Middle School Student: I go here it is awesome! Everyone is so welcoming and is very kind and I already have a ton of friends. Curriculum is tough, but worth it, and you are still able to do out of school activities. Staff and Admins are amazing and genuinely care about the students education. There is a wide array of after-school clubs including but not limited to: Drama Club, Book Club, Sci-Fi Club, First Lego League, Math Counts, Science Quiz Bowl, and Band. Do note that the only sport they have is Middle School Cross-Country but you are able to participate in sports in your district. Overall, if you are a New Hampshire resident I would totally recommend going to ASD.... Read 11 reviews

Parent: When our little elementary school closed at the end of our eldest son's Kindergarten year, we were heartbroken. We loved that the school community truly felt like family and welcomed any and all members from various backgrounds so openly. We were unsure where to send our children as a result of this closure until we toured Academy of Notre Dame. Not only did their professionalism and academic expectations remind us of our previous school, but upon hearing and seeing evidence that one of the cornerstones of the school is the celebration of diversity, we were convinced that we had found the perfect place for our children to learn and grow. These past 2 years have been nothing short of stressful, but one thing we did not have to worry about is whether or not our children were continuing to be educated and nurtured the same way they had that first part of the year at NDA when school was in person before Covid shut down the country. Our kids continued to flourish thanks to their teachers... Read 66 reviews

Parent: We sent our three children to BG, and it is amazing! There's not a single school in the area that can compare. The faculty and staff are all top notch, and students receive an education that extends well beyond the classroom. Our kids learned to work hard (which paid massive dividends in college!), and they all have awesome careers now (software engineer, NP, and a Major in the military!) They built friendships that they've carried with them well beyond college, and are all fine adults. I can't say enough about a place "where all students are known, valued, and treasured."...

Parent: Trinity has been a great experience for my family. My son has enjoyed his 4 years there and has excelled academically and socially. The staff and school do an tremendous job in preparing these students for college and be able to go out into the world and be successful. The challenging academics they offer really an realistic prep for what is to come for the next level. The athletics are great, he participated in golf and baseball, with supportive coaches and staff. Trinity creates a sense of belonging, being a small private school the staff and administrators help new students feel at ease when coming to a new school, my son was welcomed with open arms. The guidance staff is outstanding, they do a one on one walkthrough with each student it help them with there college essays and with ACT and SAT testing prep. The staff also helps the student search and prep for college interviews and scholarship opportunities. Over all my sons experience has been a great one, great school.... Read 164 reviews

Niche User: MicroSociety Academy is a premier charter school that goes above and beyond to offer kids a comprehensive education. They don't just focus on textbook academics, but they also work to teach students real-world skills to help them be successful later in life. The teachers and administration worked extremely hard over the course of the pandemic to offer resources and assistance to families in need. I can't say enough good things about the school....

Freshman: Mount Zion Christian Schools has been a large part of my life. I'm so glad I've been at this school for nine years and I really appreciate all the fun memories and close relationships I've obtained over the years. Mount Zion has an advanced teaching style which goes over the average. Classes are small, but that only increases the welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is friends with everyone. Teachers clearly care about their students and can have more focus on each individual. I find myself talking to teachers with more respect than I would with a teacher who just sees me as an everyday student. Teachers give their all for their students. The school has made many accommodations for me and my family. I follow a Messianic faith, which means I have food restrictions and I have certain holidays I have to take off of school for. They have been respectful towards that and I've never felt so uplifted in my life. Thank you, Mount Zion, for giving me such an amazing experience.... Read 23 reviews

Junior: Nashua High School North is overall a good school. I like how diverse Nashua North is and I love that I can be myself. The teachers and staff are friendly and helpful, but I do feel like they could be more understanding under certain circumstances. The amount of classes that are offered is astounding! Nashua North offers a variety of courses, from core classes to career/CTE type of classes. Nashua Norths has so many career opportunity courses which are also known as CTE courses. North offers a good amount of AP courses as well! They also have quite of a lot of clubs like Girl Up, Student Voice, Dance club, Writing club and so much more! Nashua North urges and recommends students to join clubs, sports and extra curriculars because that is a great way to start out and meet new people, and I agree! at least that is where I met most of my close friends till this day! Lastly Nashua North is generally a pretty big school. Go Titans!... Read 307 reviews

The teachers have been great and really care about each individual student, the administration is in it for you and they let us know that! The only thing I'd change about the school is the curriculum. It should be a little more challenging and include more AP and Honors courses.... Read 34 reviews

Senior: What I like about the school is that it has a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for college. The academics are more advanced than what you would get at most schools, so students are challenged more. The teachers are also very nice and do a good job teaching the material, and are easy to reach out to if you need help. The school is also very diverse with many students coming from different nationalities. A few things I'd like to see change are I'd like to see more clubs for students to join since I feel there are not as many extracurriculars as there should be, and I hope the food quality improves since I am not a very big fan of it. In general, the school is pretty good for someone who wants to be prepared for college and it has a nice community that'll make you feel welcomed.... Read 7 reviews

Junior: During my time at Founders, I’ve overall had a positive experience. The majority of teachers here are nice, understanding, and devoted to making sure students reach mastery in class. The community at Founder’s is also good; I’ve never seen any bullying in my 5 years of attendance. The worst thing about this school is the lack of AP classes. I believe there’s only one available and it’s in computer science. I understand that it’s a new school, but it’s really annoying especially when trying to build up a college resume....

Senior: My overall experience at Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical has been amazing. I made connections with my teachers, made new friends, and also be one step closer to my goals. I like going to the voke knowing I get to have the opportunity to get an education in academics and also in my field of trade; two education at once. I appreciate the staff and teachers pushing students to succeed and to believe in themselves. I remember when I was a freshman, I was a very quiet shy girl, who didn't ask for help even when I was struggling. As time passed by, I felt more comfortable reaching out for help. Help is available and people do care about you. GLTHS is a safe environment compared to other schools, like LHS. I enjoy going to the voke and I am so glad to receive my education here. If I were to have kids, I would most definitely bring my kids here! This school is so amazing, there are so many endless opportunities at this school!... Read 218 reviews
