TREMONT CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL

Tremont Consolidated School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Tremont Public Schools school district, located in Bass Harbor, ME with about 125 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, Tremont Consolidated School has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Tremont Consolidated School, located in the quiet coastal community of Bass Harbor, Maine, serves as a central educational hub for the local island population.
