Summary:

The Calais Public Schools district in Maine consists of two schools: Calais Middle/High School and Calais Elementary School. The district as a whole is ranked 168 out of 176 districts in Maine and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that both schools are performing below the state average on several key metrics.

Neither Calais Middle/High School nor Calais Elementary School stand out as clear standout schools in the district. Calais Middle/High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Maine high schools, with a ranking of 116 out of 119 in the 2024-2025 school year. Similarly, Calais Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 160 out of 290 in 2022-2023 to 255 out of 289 in 2024-2025.

Both schools in the Calais Public Schools district face challenges, with below-average graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism rates, and significantly lower test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state average. Additionally, the district serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the district to ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
