Attended: 09.5 - 12 (2.5 years)
Pros:
-Diverse learning experience with many options to study including Biddeford Regional Center of Technology trade schools in the town over.
-Large athletic program.
-Free payed tuition if you live in the city.
-I was falsely diagnosed with ADD in the 3rd grade, the school payed $3,000 to conduct test's. I found out that I had acute short term memory loss and they helped me find ways to remember things better.
- Class's aren't crowded. (25-30 people per class) My web design class only had 14 people in it.
-Offer night class's.
Cons:
-Often the teachers look at their job as just a job and not a passion. I found it hard to get help if I didn't understand something. I've had teachers stay after work for 10 minutes before at a public school but was denied several times here.
-The main building is pretty outdated.
- I noticed the boarding student usually got away with more. Example: A girl got talked to for being late to class but she explained that the Japanese students do it all the time. Sure enough a girl named Yuki was 10 minutes late to class as usual.
