Summary:
Sanford Public Schools in Maine has only one high school, Sanford High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Maine high schools over the past few years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates well below the state averages in core academic subjects.
Sanford High School's four-year graduation rate was 87.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, but the school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were significantly lower than the Sanford Public Schools district and the state of Maine averages. Additionally, the school had a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 42.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the data suggests that Sanford High School is an underperforming school that faces several challenges, including low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of students from low-income families. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the Sanford Public Schools district to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
