Summary:

The city of Anson, Maine has only one school, the Garret Schenck School, which serves students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 74/Maine School Admin District 74, which is ranked 86 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

The Garret Schenck School has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 169 out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 to 213 out of 288 schools in 2023-2024.

Additionally, the school has a high rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 72.04%, indicating a population with significant economic challenges.
