RSU 60/MSAD 60 is a rural school district in York County, Maine, serving 2,801 students across 7 schools consisting of 5 elementary buildings, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district experienced a 6.2% enrollment decrease from the prior year, suggesting demographic shifts affecting capacity planning and resource allocation.

The district's student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 is favorable for instructional delivery. However, academic performance presents mixed results when compared to state averages. Mathematics proficiency stands at 44.6%, below the state average of 50.0%, while reading proficiency is 59.2% compared to the state average of 64.2%. These gaps suggest areas for instructional focus. The graduation rate of 91.7% exceeds the state average of 86.4%, indicating stronger outcomes at the secondary level. Chronic absenteeism at 20.6% represents a notable challenge that may impact overall student achievement.

Financially, the district operates with a $52.3 million budget and per-pupil spending of $9,228, which is significantly below the state average of $12,106. This funding gap may constrain resource availability for programs and support services. Revenue is distributed across federal sources (12.6%), state funding (46.3%), and local contributions (41.1%), reflecting typical funding patterns for Maine districts with moderate local tax capacity.
