My daughter attend all four years of high school at Islesboro as part of the mainland commuter program. It was an incredible experience in every way. This school is a priceless hidden gem in mid-coast Maine.

In 2011-2012 Maine used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math and in grades 5 and 8 in writing. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maine. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
