Acton Public Schools

Summary:

Acton Public Schools is a small school district in Maine with only one school, Acton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 245 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 128 out of 176 districts in Maine, Acton Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 122 out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 204 out of 289 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools.

Academically, Acton Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are higher than the Acton Public Schools district average, but still below the state averages. However, the school's Science proficiency rate is higher than both the district and state averages. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and nearly 25% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could impact academic outcomes.

Overall, while Acton Elementary School has some strengths, such as its higher-than-district proficiency rates in certain subjects, the school is facing declining statewide rankings and performance challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure the school's long-term success.
