About this district’s rating
Bridgewater Public Schools does not have a SchoolDistrictFinder rating yet. Our ratings rank each district’s state reading and math proficiency against the other districts in Maine that this site covers, and Bridgewater Public Schools was not part of that comparison when the Maine ratings were last calculated. That says nothing about its schools’ results — the Maine state report card publishes them, and families should review it, contact the district and visit schools before making a housing or enrollment decision.

Children in zip code 04735 are assigned to Bridgewater Public Schools for public school enrollment, covering grades K–12. School assignments are address-specific — your elementary, middle, and high school placements depend on your exact street address within zip code 04735, not just your neighborhood.

If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, bring that documentation to enrollment — Maine districts are required to continue services within a reasonable period.
