Cape Elizabeth Maine Real Estate

Schools and Educational Services

Cape Elizabeth Schools are organized into three schools located on one campus: Pond Cove Elementary School (K-4); Middle School (5-8); and High School (9-12). These schools are administered by the superintendent and a principal for each school. Setting policy is the responsibility of an elected School Board composed of seven members serving three-year terms.

The school budget accounts for approximately 68 percent of the town's total budget. With the emphasis on academics, more than 90 percent of graduates go on to post-secondary education. In addition to strong academic programs throughout the system, about 80 percent of middle and high school students participate in extra-curricular activities ranging from sports to debating to the arts.

Maine Educational Resources

Cape Elizabeth can reflect with pride upon its services to learners with disabilities. Each school provides a full range of support programs to assist any child identified as needing special education.

Included in the continuum of services are resource room instruction, occupational and physical therapy, speech and language treatment, counseling services, psychological evaluations, and intensive programming for children with behavioral disorders and developmental disabilities.

The district offers a challenging academic curriculum and a rich array of educational choices including expeditionary learning, vocational training and a thriving adult education program.
