Cherryfield Public Schools

Summary:

Cherryfield Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that serves the town of Cherryfield and the surrounding area. The district has just one school, Cherryfield Elementary, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.

Cherryfield Elementary is a standout school within the district, ranking 24th out of 289 elementary schools in Maine for the 2024-2025 school year and maintaining a consistent 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the state averages, indicating strong academic achievement. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8, which likely contributes to the personalized attention and support provided to students.

While Cherryfield Elementary has many positive attributes, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average. This is an area of concern that the Cherryfield Public Schools district may want to address, as chronic absenteeism can have a significant impact on student learning and academic outcomes.
