Yarmouth Schools

The Yarmouth Schools district in Maine is home to four high-performing schools, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with several earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Yarmouth High School stands out as the district's top-performing high school, ranked 11th out of 123 Maine high schools and boasting a 93.4% four-year graduation rate. The school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8% and small student-teacher ratio of 10.5 contribute to its academic success. Yarmouth Elementary School and Frank H. Harrison Middle School also excel, ranking 8th and 1st in their respective categories in the state.

While the district's student population is predominantly white, the schools maintain relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting a focus on equity and inclusion. The small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 10.4 to 12.5, further contribute to the district's academic excellence. However, the district may consider exploring ways to increase the representation of certain racial groups, such as African American and Hispanic students, and address the higher chronic absenteeism rate at Yarmouth High School.
