Veazie Public Schools

Veazie Public Schools is a small school district in Maine with just one school, Veazie Community School, which serves grades PK-8. Despite its small size, Veazie Community School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 25% of elementary schools in the state and significantly outperforming the district and state averages in academic proficiency.

Veazie Community School's academic excellence is evident in its impressive test scores, with 77.01% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 71.59% proficient in Mathematics, compared to the district's 69.52% and 68.87%, and the state's 65.43% and 47.21%, respectively. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 likely contributes to its academic success, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

While Veazie Community School serves a diverse student population, with 35.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's ability to achieve high academic performance despite this demographic challenge is commendable. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% may be an area for further investigation and potential improvement.
