What Parents Should Know

At 140 students, Mittineague is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 9.3:1 students to teachers, Mittineague sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
