Wells-Ogunquit CSD

Located along the scenic coastal corridor of southern Maine, the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District serves as an active, traditional public school district headquartered at 1460 Post Road in Wells. Situated within the Portland-South Portland metropolitan area, this small suburban district operates three dedicated public schools providing a comprehensive educational continuum from kindergarten through 12th grade. Functioning as an independent district outside of a supervisory union or charter system, Wells-Ogunquit blends the tailored atmosphere of a close-knit municipal school system with the modern resources and stability typical of Maine's growing suburban communities.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the district supports a well-balanced student body of 1,440 pupils, spanning elementary through secondary grade levels. A defining feature of Wells-Ogunquit CSD is its remarkably robust staffing model, which includes over 560 full-time equivalent staff members dedicated to student development and district operations. The instructional framework is anchored by approximately 241 full-time teachers, 41 instructional aides, and nearly 279 specialized support personnel. This generous staffing ratio allows for highly individualized instruction, comprehensive academic support, and a well-resourced learning environment for students, families, and educational researchers alike.
