Castine Public Schools

Located along the coast of Maine at 20 Hinckley Ridge Rd in Blue Hill, Castine Public Schools operates as an active, traditional public school district dedicated to serving local families across a comprehensive pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade curriculum. Situated in a rural distant geographic setting, this non-charter district provides a complete PK–12 educational pathway anchored by a single operational school facility. Serving as a vital community cornerstone, the district offers an accessible learning framework tailored to its unique regional environment, with administrative resources and program details available online at schoolunion93.org or by phone at (207) 374-9927.

What truly sets Castine Public Schools apart is its highly personalized, close-knit academic atmosphere tailored to a small student body. With a total enrollment of 56 students—spanning 35 male and 21 female pupils across all grade levels—the district maintains a remarkably low student-to-staff profile designed for individualized care. The district is powered by a robust workforce of 36 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, including 18.4 FTE teachers, an instructional aide, and 16.6 FTE support staff. This generous staffing structure yields an extraordinary student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 3 to 1, allowing educators to deliver tailored instruction, foster deep mentorship, and build an supportive environment where every student receives dedicated attention throughout their academic journey.
