Our school also works very hard and has a lot of projects focused on preparation for college and/or life outside of high school.

• Rating 3.75 out of 5  126 reviews

Alum: The teachers and staff at Leavitt Area High School are exceptionally caring toward students regarding their education and well-being, always. There is an abundance of extracurricular activities, and certainly no shortage of school spirit during spirit weeks such as homecoming and winter carnival. I felt extremely supported by a network of staff and students during my time at Leavitt, and the advanced classes offered did more than enough to prepare me for college. I will be forever grateful, and I am proud to say I graduated as a Leavitt Hornet...Read 126 Reviews

Philip W. Sugg Middle School

• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Freshman: The middle school experience is really nice here, every school experience is rough for middle school kids. Here, however, since it is a small community and small school, you make friends that stick with you through it. The teachers are very one on one due to the small number of students. They really care and get to know their students rather than just mindlessly teach them. They often stay after and come in early to work with students who choose to do the same...Read 1 Review

Sophomore: I go to a program from Lewiston Highschool called Impact academy and let me just say that if I haven’t found this school, I would’ve dropped out by now. In third through 9th grade I had terrible grades, I started this school in tenth grade and now I have straight A’s. The teachers at this school are all great and supportive. I rate this school a definite 10/10!...Read 206 Reviews

Senior: A school cafeteria with windows and that isn't so crammed. The heating can be finicky, causing half of the building to be freezing cold but the other half to feel like the middle of summer. I did enjoy all my experiences with the staff, and I love the arts programs available to students. There is even a dark room!...Read 139 Reviews

Oak Hill High School

• Regional School Unit No. 04 (MSAD 04), ME
• 9-12
• Rating 3.18 out of 5  92 reviews

Senior: My experience at Oak Hill High School has overall been really good. Most of the teachers I have had throughout high school have been very helpful in helping me get through my work when I need help. The staff at our school overall really cares for the students here and their well-being. Guidance does a pretty good job of getting us ready for college including a junior and senior interview with every student to see where we're at and what we need to get done. We also have really good school spirit here most years during our homecoming and spring fling events. The school does have some issues such as a pretty big drug use and vaping problem but for the most part that is unfortunately today's society, not necessarily an issue my school has in particular. Overall, my school is a really good school to attend and has set me up for success...Read 92 Reviews

Middle School Student: I enjoyed all three years of my middle school experience. We had a lot of fun activities throughout the year. Such as Day of Caring where students go out and help out their communities. The teachers are very caring about their students. They go out of their ways to make sure the students succeed. There were several times when I needed help and my teachers never hesitated to help me...Oak Hill Middle School has a wide range of clubs & activities. From soccer and baseball to lego robotics and drama.There have been bullyings in the school but the teachers and administrators do make sure the students feel safe.Read 3 Reviews

Auburn Middle School

• Auburn Public Schools, ME
• 7-8
• Rating 4 out of 5  1 review

Parent: Depending on the team your student is placed on, they get slightly different experiences. The standards are the same, but the delivery and style of the teachers is very different. Sometimes the newer teachers will struggle to handle their classes and meet the needs of every child, but with so many teachers retiring these days, I think that's a given in many local districts. If you make sure your child reads every day and does their homework, then they will be challenged in their classes at AMS. The problem can be the students who don't have good role models at home and disrupt the learning of others in class. There are numerous opportunities for enrichment with a CLC program full of after-school activities, lots of school sports, Odyssey of the Mind, a great drama program and free after-school help from teachers who are always willing to stay with students and support them. The food is great in the cafeteria, and the administration is really trying to build a stronger school overall...Read 1 Review
