Summary:

The city of Millinocket, Maine is home to two public schools: Stearns Junior-Senior High School and Granite Street School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Millinocket Public Schools district.

The schools in Millinocket have maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing them in the top half of schools in Maine. Stearns Junior-Senior High School has seen some fluctuation in its statewide ranking, going from #44 in 2023-2024 to #90 in 2022-2023, before rebounding to a projected #46 in 2024-2025. Both schools generally perform above the state average in English Language Arts proficiency, but lag behind in Mathematics and Science. Stearns Junior-Senior High School had a strong 87.8% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, outperforming many other high schools.

Socioeconomic factors play a significant role, as both Stearns Junior-Senior High School and Granite Street School have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 60.09% and 62.96% respectively in 2023-2024. This suggests a relatively low-income student population in the Millinocket school district. However, the schools maintain a consistent 10.9 student-teacher ratio, indicating relatively small class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.
