Summary:
The Bangor Public Schools district in Maine is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals a range of academic performance and student demographics across these schools, with a few standouts leading the way.
The Fruit Street School and Mary Snow School are the top-performing elementary schools in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state. Both schools have exceptional academic results, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, other schools like Downeast School have significantly higher free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.
Across the district, the chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is a concern, as high absenteeism can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, the wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 9.9 at Vine Street School to 14.4 at Fruit Street School, suggests differences in resource allocation and class sizes that may contribute to the varying academic outcomes observed in the data.
