Summary:

The Center Drive School is the sole elementary school in the Orrington Public Schools district, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in Orrington, Maine, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and academic performance over the past few years, with mixed results on standardized tests.

The Center Drive School's performance has ranged from 119th out of 288 Maine elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 168th out of 289 in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have also varied, with the school slightly outperforming the district and state averages in 2024-2025, but seeing a decline from the previous year. The school serves a student population of 354, with a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 28.53% and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024.

While the Center Drive School's performance is generally above the district and state averages, the gaps are not substantial, suggesting that the school's challenges may be reflective of broader trends in the Orrington Public Schools district and the state of Maine. Addressing the school's inconsistent academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism rates could be key priorities for the school and district to better serve their student population.
