Cape Elizabeth Public Schools

The Cape Elizabeth Public Schools district in Maine is home to three exceptional schools: Pond Cove Elementary, Cape Elizabeth High School, and Cape Elizabeth Middle School. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with Pond Cove Elementary and Cape Elizabeth High School standing out as particularly impressive institutions.

Pond Cove Elementary is the district's crown jewel, ranked 1st out of 290 Maine elementary schools and boasting a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.5% and a very low free and reduced lunch rate of 6.64%, indicating a high-performing student population. Meanwhile, Cape Elizabeth High School is ranked 3rd out of 123 Maine high schools, with a remarkable 96.5% four-year graduation rate and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7%.

While the schools in the district have a predominantly white student population, they maintain favorable student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10 at Cape Elizabeth Middle School to 12.1 at Cape Elizabeth High School. This creates an environment conducive to personalized learning experiences and individualized attention for students. However, the district may benefit from exploring ways to foster greater diversity and inclusion, as well as ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
