Best Public Schools in Thorndike, ME

Summary:

The Thorndike, Maine school district consists of three schools - Mt View High School, Mt View Middle School, and Mt View Elementary School - all of which appear to be performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state of Maine. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Based on the data, none of the Thorndike schools stand out as high-performing. All three schools have low state-wide rankings, poor SchoolDigger ratings, and high rates of chronic absenteeism and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. For example, Mt View High School ranked 116 out of 123 Maine high schools and had a 0 out of 5 star rating, while Mt View Middle School ranked 93 out of 96 Maine middle schools and Mt View Elementary School ranked 283 out of 290 Maine elementary schools, all with 0 out of 5 star ratings.

The Thorndike school district appears to be facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students. The consistently low performance across all three schools, high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, and declining state-wide rankings suggest that the district, which is part of Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03, may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
