Summary

Acadia Academy School is a public charter elementary school located in Lewiston, Maine, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 246 students. The school is part of the Acadia Academy District, which is ranked 150 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Acadia Academy School has shown a fluctuating performance in state assessments over the years, with a high point in the 2021-2022 school year when it ranked 13th out of 210 Maine elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, in the most recent school year (2024-2025), the school ranked 224th out of 289 Maine elementary schools and received a 1-star rating. While the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) has been relatively strong, with proficiency rates consistently above the state average, its performance in Mathematics has been weaker, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average. Acadia Academy School's performance in Science has also been mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.03% to 56% in recent years.

Compared to nearby public schools, such as Park Avenue Elementary, Sherwood Heights Elementary, and Raymond A. Geiger Elementary, Acadia Academy School's performance is generally stronger, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Fairview School in the Auburn Public Schools district. The relatively low percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch at Acadia Academy School suggests that the school may serve a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby public schools.
