Elementary Schools in Gorham Public Schools

Summary:

The Gorham Public Schools district in Maine is home to three elementary schools: Great Falls Elementary School, Narragansett Elementary School, and Village Elementary School-Gorham. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the Gorham community.

Among the three elementary schools, Great Falls Elementary School stands out as the top performer. It has consistently ranked between 59-80 out of 289 Maine elementary schools over the past three years and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well above average. Great Falls Elementary School boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a more favorable student-teacher ratio than the other two schools in the district.

While Narragansett Elementary School has the second-highest proficiency rates, Village Elementary School-Gorham has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates over the past three years, which could be an area of concern for the Gorham Public Schools district. Additionally, all three schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is an issue the district should address to improve student learning and outcomes.
