In 2010, Islesboro Central School underwent an 9 million dollar renovation. The students in grades 5-12 attended school in portables amid the construction. The students in grades k-4 attended school in the local Islesboro Community Center.

Islesboro Central School was built in 1928 as a summer [[cottage]] by Mrs. J.T. Atterbury. The cottage was built for approximately $225,000 on a twenty-one [[acre]] site on Warren Mountain in the Dark Harbor section of the island. The structure was built from stone that was blasted from the original site. The twenty-five room [[mansion]] later became known as "Rock Ledge" when Mrs. Lillian Whitmarsh of [[New York City]] owned the [[Estate (house)|estate]].

In the summer of 1952, the town of Islesboro offered to buy the residence from Mrs. Whitmarsh to be used as a school. However, at that time Mrs. Whitmarsh refused to sell the property. That December, at [[Town meeting#Maine|a special town meeting]], the island residents voted unanimously to accept the gift of Mrs. Whitmarsh's estate to be renovated and used as their new public school.
