Thomaston Grammar School

Thomaston Grammar School serves 156 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Thomaston, Maine. As a regular public school, it draws from the local community without selective admissions. Its composite score of 9.2 out of 10 earns it an Exceptional rating, built on an academic score of 8.9 and a growth score of 9.3.

That combination of academic achievement and growth puts the school at the top of Maine's rankings. Thomaston Grammar ranks 5th out of 542 public schools statewide and outperforms 99% of Maine schools overall. Among elementary schools alone, it ranks 3rd out of 337 — only two others in the entire state score higher.

Those numbers reflect consistent performance across both what students know and how fast they are advancing. The student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1 means fewer than ten students per teacher — tight enough that teachers can track individual progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Thomaston Grammar ranks first among Thomaston's two public schools, and as a regular public school with no admissions requirements, it serves the full range of local K–5 students at an Exceptional level.

With an enrollment of 156 students, Thomaston Grammar School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.2:1, Thomaston Grammar School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
