Maine School Administrative District #35 is comprised of two rural communities, Eliot and South Berwick. Located on the southern Maine border adjacent to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the communities are able to maintain their rural character, while having access to facilities and technology normally only available in larger urban areas. Neither town has any major industry, although many parents and residents work for high technology companies in adjacent areas. The tax base for both towns is residential rather than industrial.MSAD 35 students excel academically, athletically, and in the arts. Our district's per pupil costs remain well below the state average, yet our students consistently perform above the state average in all state-assessed grade levels. Our community supports our educational programs and our parents are very engaged in all of our schools. Please feel free to contact any of our schools or the central office if you have questions or comments.
