An overview of Farmington public schools
The federal directory lists 5 public schools in Farmington, ME: 2 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high, 1 combined or other. The 4 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 1,828 students, an average of 457 per school. The largest campus is Mt Blue High School (720 students), and the largest elementary school is W G Mallett School (303).
Every listed school belongs to Rsu 09. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 12.6:1, higher than the statewide school median of 10.9:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 56% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
