Alexander Public Schools

Summary:

The Alexander Public Schools district in Maine has only one school, Alexander Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 41 students. While the school's small size may offer a more personalized learning environment, the data reveals some concerning trends in its academic performance and student engagement.

Over the past few years, Alexander Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 148 out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 to 255 out of 288 schools in 2023-2024, and further to 232 out of 289 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages, with particularly low performance in mathematics.

Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement, and the school and district may need to address this issue through targeted interventions and support for students and families. Finally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (39.02%) suggests the school may be serving a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and other challenges.
