School Overview

Long Island Elementary School is a small, public K–6 institution located on the island of Long Island, Maine. As the only school serving the local year-round community, it operates within the Maine Department of Education’s framework, providing personalized instruction to a very small student body. Given the school’s remote, island-based setting, it functions as a central hub for the community, often utilizing mixed-age classrooms and a highly collaborative approach to education that leverages the unique geography and environment of Casco Bay.

The school is notable for its intimate scale, which allows for individualized attention and a close-knit learning environment that is rarely found in mainland districts. Academically, the curriculum emphasizes core subjects while integrating the natural surroundings into the learning experience. Because of its unique location, the school maintains strong ties to both the local island residents and the broader regional school system, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive education while remaining deeply connected to the heritage and daily life of their coastal community.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
