Orrington Public Schools

Summary:

Orrington Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that serves the town of Orrington, with only one school in the district - Center Drive School. This elementary school serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 354 students.

While Center Drive School has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, it has consistently performed slightly above the Orrington Public Schools district and the state of Maine averages in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's proficiency rates ranged from 64% to 70% in ELA and 50% to 53% in Math over the past two school years.

The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention for students. However, the school also has a moderately high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 28.53%, indicating that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These factors may present challenges for the school in supporting the needs of its diverse student population.
