This school is awesome. It offers oppertunitys for every student, and we mostly have awesome teachers. Ou principal is really more like a friend then an strict mean guy, not that he can't lay down the law, he can, but he trys to take it easy and give everyone a fair chance. Also, we hae a school resource officer, and one of te best guidance counselors I believe in the whole world. I would never want to go anywhere bt Brewer, it is my home, and all my friends are here, not to mention the eduation offered!

The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maine. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
