From what was once a booming railroad town with a population over 1000, we are now a small, quiet, little community of 338. The school has 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades with a current enrollment of 140 students. This gives the students and teachers a 17 to 1 ratio. It also has a Head Start program with an enrollment of 14 students. The Maitland area is mostly agriculture with both large and small farms.
Many farmers also have livestock.
Maryville also has a number of industrial facilities and various stores and shops. Maitland has, like most towns, lost most of their population to the larger cities, however, we can still enjoy the peace and quiet only a small hometown can offer.
