Best Public Schools in Kittery Point, ME

Summary:

Kittery Point, Maine is home to a single elementary school, the Horace Mitchell Primary School, which serves grades K-3 with an enrollment of 259 students. The school is part of the Kittery Public Schools district, which is ranked 87 out of 176 districts in Maine and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Horace Mitchell Primary School has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from 113th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 78th out of 289 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also improved from 3 stars to 4 stars during this period. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the Kittery Public Schools district and the state of Maine in both English Language Arts (64.06% proficient or better) and Mathematics (74.24% proficient or better), though its performance in both subjects was slightly lower than the district and state averages in the 2023-2024 school year.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. On a positive note, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1, which may contribute to its academic performance and learning environment.
