Waite Public Schools

Situated at 63 Broadway in Baileyville, Maine, Waite Public Schools is an open, independent public school district serving a rural remote community. Designated as a traditional, non-charter district that operates independently outside of a supervisory union, it holds authorization to serve students across a complete educational spectrum from kindergarten through 12th grade. For families, residents, and local stakeholders seeking contact with administrative leadership, the district office remains reachable by phone at (207) 427-6913.

From an operational and research perspective, the district presents a unique institutional profile within the 2024–2025 NCES dataset. While authorized to offer comprehensive K–12 programming, Waite Public Schools currently reports zero active operational school facilities and no enrolled students across any grade level. Its staffing model reflects this specialized administrative function, employing no full-time equivalent classroom teachers or instructional aides, but maintaining a modest support staff of 1.6 full-time equivalent positions to handle ongoing district governance and reporting. For educational researchers and community planners, Waite Public Schools serves as a notable example of a non-instructional rural administrative district in Maine's public education ecosystem.
