Summary

Asa C Adams School is an elementary school located in Orono, Maine, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 323 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 26 district, which is ranked 30 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Asa C Adams School consistently performs above the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with 78.13% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 72.39% in Mathematics, and 51.56% in Science in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has been ranked among the top elementary schools in Maine, reaching as high as 9th out of 254 schools in the 2017-2018 school year and maintaining a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. Additionally, the school has shown strong performance across different student subgroups, ranking 20th out of 251 Maine elementary schools for male students and 14th out of 192 schools for special education students, both with a 5-star rating.

While Asa C Adams School outperforms many of the nearby schools in academic metrics, some schools in the Bangor Public Schools district, such as Fruit Street School and Abraham Lincoln School, also demonstrate high academic achievement and statewide rankings. This suggests that the Orono and Bangor areas may have a concentration of high-performing elementary schools. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 23.4% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address.
