Monhegan Plt School Dept

Located at 1 Monhegan Avenue in Monhegan Plantation, Maine, the Monhegan Plantation School Department is an open, independent public school district serving one of the state’s most isolated island communities. Defined by its rural remote setting off the New England coast, this non-charter district operates a single school facility configured to offer a comprehensive education spanning from pre-kindergarten all the way through twelfth grade. As an essential civic hub for its island population, the district provides a vital educational anchor, maintaining active community connections and resources through its local campus and official web portal.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the district presents a remarkably individualized learning model tailored to a close-knit student body of just three enrolled children across the elementary and middle school levels, with active learners in the first, third, and eighth grades. To support this small group, the district maintains a robust staffing profile that includes approximately 2.38 full-time equivalent teachers, a dedicated instructional aide, and three support staff members, totaling over six full-time equivalent personnel. This extraordinary ratio of educators to students creates a deeply focused, highly personalized academic environment, offering researchers and families a rare glimpse into the modern vitality of small-scale, remote island education.
