Elementary Schools in Acton Public Schools

Summary:

The Acton Public Schools district in Maine has only one elementary school, Acton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 245 students.

Acton Elementary School's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 122nd out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 204th out of 289 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger star rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 1 star over this time period. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be contributing to its academic challenges. While the school performs better than the state average in science proficiency, its English Language Arts (ELA) and math proficiency rates are below the state averages.

Despite these challenges, Acton Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1, suggesting smaller class sizes that could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. The school also serves a student population with a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 24.9%.
