Elementary Schools in Airline Central School District

Summary:

The Airline Central School District in Maine has only one elementary school, Airline Community School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has faced fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 106 out of 289 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 278 out of 290 in 2022-2023.

Airline Community School has seen mixed results on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics above the district and state averages in 2024-2025, but a drop in Mathematics proficiency to 40% in 2023-2024, which was lower than the district and state. The school has a relatively small student population of 30 and a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 43.33% in 2023-2024. However, the school benefits from a low student-to-teacher ratio of 5.7, indicating a high level of individual attention for students.

One significant concern for Airline Community School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. While the school has shown some strengths, such as its relatively high academic proficiency rates in certain subjects, the inconsistent performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest that the school and district may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to improve overall student outcomes.
