Summary:
Harmony Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, Harmony Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with declining performance and rankings, despite some strong academic results in certain areas.
Harmony Elementary's performance on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) tests has been mixed, with the school performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's overall performance, as measured by its SchoolDigger ranking, has declined over the past few years, dropping from 123 out of 289 Maine elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 249 out of 290 schools in 2022-2023, with a 1-star rating.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and a chronic absenteeism rate that is significantly higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's performance issues, and the district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to help Harmony Elementary improve and better serve its student population.
