Long Island Public Schools

Located at 33 Fern Avenue in Long Island, Maine, Long Island Public Schools is an open, traditional public school district situated in a scenic rural fringe setting within the greater Portland-South Portland metropolitan area. Serving as an independent district operating a single facility, it is officially structured to offer a complete educational pathway from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The school provides a unique educational anchor for the island community, blending a traditional public school framework with the intimacy and adaptability of a small-town island environment.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district enrolled a focused group of 8 elementary students spanning the second through fifth grades. To support this close-knit student body, the district maintains a remarkably robust staffing model, employing 4.4 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, 0.2 FTE instructional aides, and 3.6 FTE support staff members, totaling over 8 full-time equivalent personnel. This extraordinary level of staffing context allows Long Island Public Schools to offer an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio, fostering an individualized learning environment where educators can tailor instruction directly to each student's academic and developmental needs.
