LIMESTONE COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Limestone Community School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the RSU 39 school district, located in Limestone, ME with about 106 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 12 teachers, Limestone Community School has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

Limestone Community School, located at 93 High Street in Limestone, Maine, serves as a vital educational hub for its small rural community. Operating as a pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade facility, the school is uniquely positioned to provide a continuous learning environment that fosters close relationships between students, staff, and families. Because of its smaller student population, the school is able to offer a more personalized approach to education, emphasizing individual attention and a supportive atmosphere that encourages both academic and social development.

The school is deeply integrated into the culture of Limestone, reflecting the values and spirit of northern Maine. Its curriculum is designed to meet state standards while preparing students for a variety of post-secondary paths, ranging from university education to technical trades. By maintaining a cohesive community feel, Limestone Community School serves as more than just a place of learning; it acts as a central pillar for local residents, promoting a strong sense of civic pride and commitment to student success.
