Elementary Schools in Cutler Public Schools

Summary:

The Cutler Public Schools district in Maine has only one elementary school, Bay Ridge Elementary, which serves a small student population of 42 students. The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics sometimes exceeding the state averages, but also falling behind in other years.

Bay Ridge Elementary faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a significant percentage (50%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges. The school's small size may also present unique obstacles in terms of resources and educational opportunities. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1 could be a potential strength.

Overall, the data suggests that Bay Ridge Elementary is facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and addressing attendance and socioeconomic factors. The Cutler Public Schools district and school leadership may need to closely examine the school's strengths and weaknesses to develop strategies that support student success.
