However, the elementary schools, George J Mitchell School and Albert S Hall School, lag behind the secondary schools in academic performance, with lower proficiency rates and lower SchoolDigger ratings. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and significant socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly in the elementary schools. Addressing these issues could lead to improved outcomes for students across the Waterville Public Schools district.
