Summary

Dimensions Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Cornville, Maine, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school is part of the Community Regional Charter School District, which is ranked 176 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dimensions Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Maine elementary schools over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 206 out of 256 in 2016-2017 to 286 out of 289 in 2024-2025. The school has maintained a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger throughout this period. Dimensions Academy's performance is particularly concerning for specific student groups, with the school ranking 240 out of 251 for female students, 249 out of 251 for male students, 148 out of 150 for white students, and 247 out of 248 for students with low socioeconomic status in 2024-2025. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 42.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Dimensions Academy to nearby schools, such as Canaan Elementary School, which is part of a different district (Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Admin District 54), it becomes clear that Dimensions Academy is an outlier in terms of performance. Canaan Elementary School consistently outperforms Dimensions Academy, ranking in the top 25-30% of Maine elementary schools and achieving higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The data suggests that Dimensions Academy requires significant and targeted interventions to address the root causes of its poor performance, such as improving attendance, providing additional academic support, and addressing the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population.

Open Quote CRCS sounds great on paper and Travis really sells the school to parents. Unfortunately nothing is backed up and in reality a lot of the learners fall well below grade level. There are few "real" classes and most of the day is filled with electives. There are not classes like science, history, geography, or hand writing. The days are longer than in public school to give more time outside, but if the days were shorter learners could go home and play so there is no point. There is also a high turnover rate for employees partially due to the long days and also due to the lack of support from Susan and Travis. There are numerous learners who should have a 1-1 with them due to behaviors, but the school doesn't want to pay for that so the teachers are left handling them while trying to deal with the rest of their class. Ed tech 1's aren't supposed to be left alone with even one child, but at CRCS they frequently wind up teaching entire classes all by themselves. Ed techs teach a lot of the electives, which is what the majority of a learners day is spent in. Do yourself a favor and send your child to anywhere other than this school. It's a great school in theory, but in reality it needs a complete overhaul. There are some amazing teachers there but without support they can only do so much. But hey, at least the school was able to spend a lot of money buying 6 cricut machines and even more 3d printers, because those are the things that matter in an education. Close Quote
