Elementary Schools in Southport Public Schools

Southport Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, Southport Central School, which serves students from kindergarten to 6th grade. Despite its small size of just 18 students, the school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where a higher percentage of students are proficient or better compared to the district and state averages.

While Southport Central School was previously ranked among the top elementary schools in Maine, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 34th out of 284 schools in 2014-2015 to 100th out of 289 schools in 2024-2025. This decline in ranking is an area of concern that the school and Southport Public Schools district should investigate further. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which could impact student learning and outcomes.

Overall, Southport Central School appears to be a high-performing school academically, particularly in mathematics, but faces some challenges related to declining rankings and chronic absenteeism. The school's small size of 18 students may also present unique challenges and opportunities. The Southport Public Schools district should continue to monitor and address these areas to ensure the continued success of its sole elementary school.
