Acadia Academy

Summary:

Acadia Academy School is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Lewiston, Maine, with a total enrollment of 246 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, from 119th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 224th out of 289 in 2024-2025, its academic performance is mixed. Acadia Academy School outperformed the state average in English Language Arts but underperformed in Mathematics, and it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average.

The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 25.2% indicates a relatively high proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present unique challenges in providing additional support and resources. However, the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.3, could be a positive factor in its ability to provide more individualized attention and support to students.

Overall, the data suggests that Acadia Academy School is facing some challenges in maintaining its academic performance and statewide ranking, particularly in the area of Mathematics and student attendance. The school's small class sizes and relatively high performance in English Language Arts may be areas of strength that could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.
