Yarmouth High School

Posted: October 23, 2014

This school is absolutely excellent. I have attended private schools, public schools, and I have been homeschooled as well. Yarmouth has been the absolute best; it is such a community. Students are engaged in learning, and teachers respect the students. I love going to class because they are discussion based, and it's truly about learning and not just memorizing formulas and writing essays. My biggest class last year was 15 students. Every class is challenging, but students help each other stay motivated. The school offers many AP classes, and we have the highest SAT average in Maine (everyone in ME takes the SAT Jr year). Everyone in Yarmouth is involved with the school, and it is such a great place to be. The sports, play, music, and art are all strong (look at our website for the latest accomplishments). With only 500 students, Yarmouth is still able to compete with (and beat) schools that are much bigger in size (such as Cape Elizabeth and Falmouth). Yarmouth is unique, however, because it is down-to-earth and friendly with each other. Every student is involved somehow. The learning environment is excellent, and I couldn't ask for a better place to go to high school!
