    Some private schools don't really seem that different from public schools. This private school…read morelooks exactly like a college campus. Exeter is also a great city, great location to go to school. Nicer than where I went to school, that's for sure

    Hmmm. It's academically the best high school in the United Stares, perhaps in the world. But it's…read morehad a few problems recently. The administration seems to be trying to preserve the reputation of the school instead of just doing the next right thing. It's also not necessarily a good place for every smart kid. It's designed to support the superstar kids, and that's not a bad thing. It's easily the smartest and most talented collection of people I've ever been around. Amazing people who've started schools, won Tonys, written academic masterpieces, and that just a couple people in my own class. If you think you're one of those superstars, this could be the place for you. But it's easy to fall through the cracks when you're not in the top 10% of the class. You need to be able to make your own schedule and have a sense of who you are. This is not for immature kids! Bottom line: expensive school, worth every penny if you're self-motivated and ambitious. Plenty of financial aid to deserving kids who could not otherwise afford it. Or you can be the scion of a family that can afford its own jet. These are the best ways to get through. The rest of us do well, and we have really cool friends 30 years later.

    The schoolhouse is a jewel from American institutional design circa late 1970s / early…read more1980s....hopefully the new school will keep some of the old design fundamentals when designing a friendly space to learn. We do not need pretty we need functional and sustainable with this campus! Great teachers, Awesome location and fond memories of Middle School! This is MY school! It is set up just like all schools should be setup. It could use some updating but all in all it is a great schoolhouse with Amazing opportunities for students of all levels. But we could use an auditorium.....the music/band/theater students need help sounding as good as they are. So maybe a little splurge for the sake of acoustics and comfort could be arranged I Love that this place has always had a Breakfast Club feel to it. ;-) The interior decor will bring you back! I have fond memories of the education I received at BJHS! I am also excited that my children will have a similar experience, not much has changed here since the olden days! Ha Go Huskies!

    Not a really good school. There's too many scrict rules and plus the review got token down from the…read moreschool so yea now I'm remaking this because I hope ur child doesn't go here even if u are interviewing. Don't work here, anything, etc. If ur kid has an interview here I would wait until he or she is in 9th grade and then have them go to the high school here in brunswick. The high school is 1000 times better then this school thats for sure!

    As a graduate of The Hyde School I have to say that a day doesn't go by that I don't reflect on…read morethings that I learned at this school. It has had a positive influence on my life as well as my family's. As with everything in life you either get it or you don't. And that defiantly applies to the experience you have at this school. You have to want to work for the positive changes in your life otherwise it won't happen. The teachers and staff work hard at their jobs and give attention to all students. The academics weren't as challenging as the other prep school I attended but I went to Hyde for the character development so it really out weighed anything else. The sports facilities are now top notch. I am a happy alumni and support the school whenever I can -- there is never a time when I close enough that I don't go visit. I still talk with teachers and staff today because they will be forever a part of my life.

    I attended Hyde in the 1990s. I was not a troubled teen, just a kid with self-esteem issues and…read morechildhood trauma. We were told it was a therapeutic program that would help build confidence. That turned out to be a bait and switch. After a summer challenge, I entered the school year expecting support. Instead, I found a brutal, one-size-fits-all system where questioning authority meant punishment. There was nothing personalized or healing about it. You either got in line or were labeled broken. The kids who conformed quickly were rewarded and are still, decades later, defending the place like it's a cult. The school's marketing included slogans about "character," "truth," and "brother's keeper," but it's all surface. The truth is that Hyde used emotional control and public shaming to keep students in line. And they called it growth. I've connected with others from my class through the recent lawsuit. We were all told we were the problem. Turns out the problem was Hyde. If you're a parent, look past the marketing. Ask why so many former students are speaking out. Notice that there are (at the time I've writing this) in addition to all the negative reviews Yelp is showing you, there are also 36 one-star reviews that are hidden because they're "not recommended," and something like 40 more one-star reviews removed because someone flagged them as being 'in violation of Yelp policy'. Long story medium, the overwhelming majority of reviewers here are warning you: do not send your kids to Hyde.
