What people are saying

by a student
Monday, November 18, 2013

Kearsarge Regional High School is not the greatest school out there but has many great qualities. Even though the administration seems to only provide the basic needs for students, there are definitely challenging courses and paths to take while enrolled. For example, I am a freshman and I take sophomore biology and honors classes. To get ahead, I've been taking online courses and that has gotten me four credits before my freshman year even started. A couple things I don't like are how we do not have weighted classes for Honors/AP students and we no longer have a valedictorian position. Even though the administration has it's fair share of bad decisions, it is clear that the teachers and principle truly care about the success of the students. Take it from someone who's on the inside, not a parent or faculty member. Students here really stand up for their education and beliefs, and there is almost a non-existent bullying rate. Close Quote
