Summary:
Tremont Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that operates a single elementary school, Tremont Consolidated School, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 135 students. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts and Science but weaker results in Mathematics. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with a rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, a relatively high proportion of students, 28.15%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students.
Tremont Consolidated School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 133 out of 289 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 235 out of 290 in 2022-2023. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (70.73% vs. 63.84%) and Science (42.11% vs. 36.18%), but underperformed in Mathematics (48.78% vs. 49.38%). The previous year, the school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (70.13% vs. 65.43%) but fell behind in Mathematics (31.17% vs. 47.21%) and Science (16.13% vs. 33.98%).
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.1 to 1, which may be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention, the high chronic absenteeism rate and the economic disadvantage faced by a significant portion of the student population suggest that the Tremont Public Schools district may need to focus on addressing these challenges to improve overall academic outcomes at Tremont Consolidated School.
