North Atlantic Regional School

"Best high school when it comes to administration, and caring."

"I am the mother of three adopted children who attended North Atlantic Regional School, and I will say two of my children loved it. They were able to study subjects they enjoyed and to incorporate their academic interests into many classes. However, my youngest daughter is African American, and even though she turned in assignments very similar to her brother's and sister's, and from day one she was held to a higher standard than either of her siblings. The teachers refused her work, even when she did longer assignments with more details, or when she turned in more written documentation. While teachers applauded my son for his interest in cooking, they rejected work my African American daughter did with equine therapy -claiming it was not academic! White boys cooking is academic, but Black girls working in a certified equine therapy program are not! It was pure racism. The director of the school refused to address this disparity of teaching and grading, and so my youngest is out of this racist school. Black families beware! North Atlantic Regional School is prejudiced and downright mean to children of color."
