Our curriculum, instructional methods, and assessment tools are built upon Maine's system of standards for student learning. To read more about many of these standards, please visit our standards page.

We're working to design a proficiency-based learning system in which:

All students will be better prepared for college, career, and civic readiness
All students will connect to, engage in, and develop a passion for learning
All students can learn and show what they know in a variety of ways and paces(multiple pathways)
Students, teachers, and families have a clear understanding of where a student’s learning is, and where it is headed (Here is our grading philosophy.)

Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) Information

This spring, the State of Maine will begin to use a new version of the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) to measure our students’ achievement in mathematics and English Language Arts (reading and writing) in grades 3-8. In addition, we will once again use the SAT for students in their third year of high school.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have questions or concerns about your child’s testing experience, we ask that you contact the school principal before testing. This will help to ensure that we’re all prepared to make testing as successful as possible for your child.

Graduation Standards Adopted

On May 7, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted Graduation Standards for the district. The work of defining the evidence and targets that will more specifically define what proficiency means on each standard will be a focus for the 15-16 school year.
