Summary:

Stratton, Maine is home to a single public elementary school, Stratton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Eustis Public Schools district and has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Stratton Elementary School has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, where 79.45% of its students scored proficient or better on the MEA ELA assessment in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly outperforming the state average of 63.84%.

While Stratton Elementary School's statewide ranking has improved dramatically, from 171st to 73rd out of 289 elementary schools in Maine over the past two years, the school's relatively low percentage of students (6.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch may raise questions about its ability to serve a diverse student population and address any equity gaps. Further investigation would be needed to understand the socioeconomic makeup of the school and its impact on educational outcomes.
