Summary:
The Acadia Academy district in Maine contains a single public charter elementary school, Acadia Academy School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 246 students.
While Acadia Academy School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, from 119th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 224th out of 289 in 2024-2025, the school has some academic strengths. It outperformed the state average in English Language Arts proficiency in 2023-2024 (69.64% vs 65.43%) and 2024-2025 (64.41% vs 63.84%), as well as in Science proficiency in 2023-2024 (56% vs 33.98%). However, the school underperformed the state average in Mathematics proficiency in both years (35.71% vs 47.21% in 2023-2024, and 32.2% vs 49.38% in 2024-2025).
Acadia Academy School faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 25.2% in 2023-2024, suggesting it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status. On a positive note, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
