St George School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the St George Public Schools school district, located in Tenants Harbor, ME with about 189 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 19 teachers, St George School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
