The city of West Enfield, Maine has only one public elementary school, Enfield Station Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 31/Maine School Admin District 31.
Enfield Station Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from the 90th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 124th percentile in 2023-2024 and the 251st percentile in 2024-2025. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the regional and statewide averages, with proficiency rates of 44.57% in ELA and Math, and 26.67% in Science in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 63.84%, 49.38%, and 36.18%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, which is lower than the state average.
