Prior to being included in the RSU21, students from the Town of Arundel were given the option to attend Thornton Academy (9–12 grade), starting with Thornton Academy Middle School (6–8 grade) when it was built, with tuition being covered by the Town of Arundel.

RSU21 fought this school choice option, resulting in a three-year court battle.

The option to attend Thornton Academy schools is still being preserved as of the ruling by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court on July 18, 2019.
