Perry Public Schools

Located along the scenic coastal corridor at 423 US Route 1 in Pembroke, Maine, Perry Public Schools serves as an independent, traditional public school district tailored to its rural, remote community. Operating a single educational campus, the district maintains active status with authorization to provide academic programming spanning from prekindergarten all the way through 12th grade, with current student enrollment centered across the prekindergarten through 8th-grade levels. As a standalone district independent of a supervisory union, Perry Public Schools delivers a focused, community-anchored learning environment designed to meet the foundational educational needs of local families.

During the 2024–2025 school year, the district fosters an exceptionally tight-knit academic setting with a total enrollment of 73 students, comprising 38 female and 35 male learners. The student body reflects the broader region, bringing together White, multiracial, American Indian, and Black students into a unified learning community. A standout feature of the district is its robust staffing structure relative to its student population. Guided by approximately 16 full-time equivalent teachers, three instructional aides, and over 16 dedicated support personnel—totaling nearly 36 full-time staff members—the district operates with an enviable student-to-teacher ratio of roughly four-to-one. This low ratio enables highly personalized instruction, strong faculty mentorship, and a tailored academic experience for every child.
