Summary:
The city of Cornville, Maine has only one public charter school, Dimensions Academy, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 168 students. Dimensions Academy is part of the Community Regional Charter School District, which is ranked 176 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dimensions Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Maine elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with rankings of 286 out of 289, 281 out of 288, and 277 out of 290. This poor performance is reflected in the school's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, Dimensions Academy had significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (37.5%) and Mathematics (18.56%) compared to the state averages (63.84% and 49.38%, respectively). The school's performance has declined over the past two school years, with proficiency rates dropping in both subjects.
Dimensions Academy also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (57.74%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning and support, though this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance.
