Summary

Boothbay Region Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, with 336 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 9:1. The school is part of the Boothbay-Boothbay Hbr Central School District, which is ranked 48 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Boothbay Region Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA). In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 68.91% proficiency in ELA, 52.36% in Math, and 40.63% in Science, compared to the state averages of 63.84%, 49.38%, and 36.18%, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, Fisher-Mitchell School and Wiscasset Elementary have similar academic performance, while Phippsburg Elementary outperforms Boothbay Region in ELA proficiency. Smaller schools in the area, such as Southport Central School and Georgetown Central School, tend to have lower student-teacher ratios and higher academic performance, suggesting that the size of Boothbay Region Elementary School may not be optimal for student outcomes.
