Summary:

The Augusta Public Schools district in Maine consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population and faces some challenges, but also has several standout schools that are performing well.

The Lillian Parks Hussey School is a top-performing elementary school in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other schools. The Sylvio J. Gilbert School and Lincoln School are also high-performing elementary schools in the district.

In contrast, the district's middle and high schools, Cony Middle School and Cony High School, have lower proficiency rates compared to the elementary schools and the state averages. The district also faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% across all schools, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the secondary level. The district's schools also have a wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant socioeconomic diversity that may require targeted interventions and support.
