Summary

Mt View Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Thorndike, Maine, serving 213 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03, which is ranked 126 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Unfortunately, Mt View Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Maine elementary schools over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 208 out of 210 in 2021-2022 to 274 out of 289 in 2024-2025. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's performance on subgroup metrics is also concerning, with low rankings for female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Mt View Elementary School has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.4% to 31.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Mt View Elementary School is struggling, some of the nearby schools within the same district, such as Monroe Elementary School and Walker Memorial School, are performing significantly better. Monroe Elementary School, for example, ranked 98 out of 289 Maine elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The data suggests that there is significant room for improvement at Mt View Elementary School, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve and better serve its community.
