Elementary Schools in Regional School Unit 28/Maine School Admin District 28

Summary:

The Regional School Unit 28/Maine School Admin District 28 contains one elementary school, Camden-Rockport Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has an enrollment of 348 students.

Camden-Rockport Elementary School appears to be a standout school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 40 elementary schools in Maine over the past three school years, with a ranking of 26 out of 288 schools in 2023-2024. The school has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating out of 5 from School Digger, indicating it is performing well above average compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average, with 71.22% proficiency in ELA and 84.17% in Math in 2024-2025, well above the state averages of 63.84% and 49.38%, respectively.

While the school's overall performance is excellent, it has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 15.8% in 2023-2024, suggesting a relatively affluent student population. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1, which is indicative of smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, while lower than the state average, is still relatively high for an elementary school and could be an area for the school to focus on.
