Kayaker2 of Dresden, ME Dear Soma-

LA is a great school but some of your facts are not based in reality. First, unlike LA, ALL students at WHS take standardized tests unless they are severely developmentally delayed. Lincoln's scores therefore are higher because they don't reflect the entire population. Does every junior at LA take the SAT's and are those scores reported to the State?

Better colleges? So Franklin Pierce, Harvard, Worcester Polytech, and RPI are bad? Do we look down our noses at UMO?

My kids all went to WHS and now enjoy great careers and lifestyles. I would like to think that in part, this is due to the education they received at WHS.report abuse

equity4all of Winthrop, ME Wiscasset High School is doing what it needs to do in order to preserve student enrollment and quality of instruction. They should be commended for stepping forth with a strategic plan that addresses one of the major concerns underscoring school re-organization.

Winthrop High School (a stand-alone) is attempting something similar; however, they have hired former superintendent, Terry Despres to help them increase enrollment under his private business. Why is it that schools such as Wiscasset can demonstrate educational leadership and work from within their own learning organization, while others must hire out to do what can be done at no increased cost to taxpayers?report abuse

Soma of Nobleboro, ME Oh and Jason, don't forget that Lincoln Academy students score higher on standardized tests, have more after school athletic and non-athletic choices and go to better colleges.report abuse
