About
Lewiston Public Schools
Our Community
Situated below the falls of the Androscoggin River and midway between the state’s spectacular coastline and lush mountains, Lewiston was incorporated in 1795. With a population of 38,000, it is the largest city in Androscoggin County and the second largest city in the state of Maine. Half of the population of Maine resides within 30 miles of Lewiston’s borders. Superior healthcare and educational services, safe neighborhoods, and affordable housing make Lewiston a great place to live and work.
Our Schools
The Lewiston Public Schools serve over 4,550 students with 600 certified and support staff in nine community schools. Administrators and teachers recognize the importance of students’ aspirations and are committed to the belief that all children can succeed. Collectively, we strive for high standards in learning as we develop and nurture students who will help lead our community in the next century. Strong partnerships with family, businesses, and service agencies provide immense support and strengthen our schools. Excellent schools are crucial to our community’s vitality, growth, and cultural development.
Lewiston students score at or above the state average on the Maine Educational Assessment and at or above the national average on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Over sixty percent of graduates continue in post-secondary education. Many receive distinguished scholarship awards based on academic achievement. Columbia University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, and Dartmouth College are among the colleges and universities graduates from Lewiston High School have attended.
