Summary:

The city of Farmington, Maine is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by Regional School Unit 09. The schools include 2 elementary schools (W.G. Mallett School and Cascade Brook School), 1 middle school (Mt. Blue Middle School), and 1 high school (Mt. Blue High School).

Mt. Blue High School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 94th out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 to 65th out of 119 in 2024-2025. However, its performance on standardized tests is below the regional and state averages. In contrast, Cascade Brook School, an elementary school, has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, moving from 183rd out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 163rd out of 289 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with students performing above the regional and state averages in Mathematics but below in English Language Arts and Science.

Across the district, there is a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 50.5% at Mt. Blue High School to 59.85% at Cascade Brook School, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families, which could be impacting academic achievement.
