Summary:

Regional School Unit 16 in Maine is home to 3 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The schools in this district display a range of academic performance, with Minot Consolidated School standing out as a top-performing school in the state, while Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls lags behind.

Minot Consolidated School has consistently ranked among the top 130 elementary schools in Maine over the past 3 years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (74.8%) and Mathematics (60%) for the 2024-2025 school year are significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls appears to be the weakest performer in the district, ranking in the bottom 10% of Maine elementary schools and having the lowest proficiency rates in ELA and Math.

Across the 3 schools, there are notable differences in the percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 27.44% at Minot Consolidated School to 48.48% at Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls.
