Summary:

Greenbush Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, Helen S Dunn Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Maine elementary schools over the past three years and has a below-average 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Helen S Dunn Elementary School has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41.25%) and Mathematics (20%) significantly lower than the state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. While the school's performance was slightly better in the 2023-2024 school year, with 58.33% proficiency in English Language Arts and 30.95% in Mathematics, it still fell below the state averages.
