SMS (Stratham Memorial School) is great. I graduated a year ago and I will never forget that school. They taught me so much, and every teacher there is kind and caring. Each day we would alternate between Music, Physical Education, Maker Space, and Art. If there were a student, that's behind on the class, the teachers would adapt to teach them the way they should be taught. I met so many friends on my journey, and I'm glad to have once been a part of this community.

We moved here for the great schools. If you like an elementary school that does not adequately handle bullying, that does not provide assistants in its classrooms, that dilutes its content and teaches to the lowest performing student in the class, then this is your school. The 12:1 student ratio that is claimed above is completely wrong. Class sizes have grown and teachers on their own with up to 18 kids in the younger grades. This takes away from the learning experience.
