Summary:
Eastport Public Schools has only one elementary school, Eastport Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Maine elementary schools over the past three years, with significant gaps in academic proficiency compared to state averages.
Eastport Elementary School's performance on state assessments is well below the state average, with only 48.15% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 20.37% proficient in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's Science proficiency rate was also lower than the state average, at 30.43% compared to 36.18%. These persistent challenges in student achievement suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve learning outcomes.
The school serves a high-poverty population, with 62.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.6, which is significantly lower than the state average, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The small school size of 91 students may present both advantages and challenges in resource allocation and personalized attention for students.
