Elementary Schools in Waterville Public Schools

Summary:

The Waterville Public Schools district in Maine is home to two elementary schools: George J Mitchell School and Albert S Hall School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges, performing well below the state average on academic measures.

Neither school stands out as a clear standout performer, with both George J Mitchell School and Albert S Hall School ranking in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools. George J Mitchell School has consistently ranked between 228-240 out of 289-290 schools and has a 1-star rating, while Albert S Hall School has a more varied ranking history, ranging from 117 to 168 out of 254-256 schools, with a 2-3 star rating.

Both schools struggle academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the state average.
