Elementary Schools in Jefferson Public Schools

Summary:

The Jefferson Village School is the sole elementary school in the Jefferson Public Schools district in Maine. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 123 out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 to 193 out of 289 schools in 2024-2025. While the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are mixed, with strengths in Science but weaknesses in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the district as a whole is ranked 123 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jefferson Village School faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 24.68%, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.6 is relatively low compared to the state average, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.

Overall, the data suggests that while Jefferson Village School has some areas of strength, it also faces challenges that may be impacting its performance and ranking. Addressing attendance issues, providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, and examining the broader district-level factors could be important steps in improving the educational outcomes for students in the Jefferson Public Schools district.
