Airline Central School District

Summary:

Airline Central School District in Maine has only one school, Airline Community School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 30 students. While the school ranked in the top half of Maine elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, its performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating to 0 stars on SchoolDigger.

Airline Community School has some strengths, such as its ELA performance, with 68.42% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 61.9% for the district and 63.84% statewide. However, the school's Math performance has been below the district and state averages, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024 is quite high. Additionally, with 43.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population with higher economic needs, which can impact academic performance.

Despite its small size, with only 30 students and a student-teacher ratio of 5.7 to 1, Airline Community School's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest areas for improvement. Addressing attendance issues and identifying the root causes of the school's declining ranking and ratings could be important steps in supporting student success at Airline Community School within the Airline Central School District.
