Best Public Schools in Corinth, ME

Summary:

The city of Corinth, Maine is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Central Community Elementary School, Central High School, and Central Middle School. These schools are part of the Regional School Unit 64/Maine School Admin District 64.

Among the three schools, Central Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 61 out of 91 Maine middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency and had the highest science proficiency rates among the three Corinth schools. In contrast, Central Community Elementary School and Central High School had lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in various subjects.

Socioeconomic challenges appear to be a significant factor for the Corinth school district, as all three schools had relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 40.69% at the high school to 53.63% at the elementary school. Additionally, the district faces high chronic absenteeism rates, with all three schools reporting over 23% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may be contributing to the academic performance issues observed across the district.
