Summary:
The Westbrook Public Schools district in Maine is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through fifth grade. The data reveals significant disparities in the performance and characteristics of these schools, providing valuable insights for parents and the district to address.
Among the standout schools, Congin School emerges as the highest-performing, ranking 140 out of 289 Maine elementary schools and earning a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Congin School outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 51.1% compared to the other schools. In contrast, Saccarappa School lags behind, with lower test scores and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 70.23%, potentially indicating a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
The data also reveals concerning trends across the district, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4% at all three schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary, with Oxford-Cumberland Canal School having the lowest ratio at 6.8, potentially providing more individualized attention for students. These insights highlight the need for the Westbrook Public Schools district to address the disparities and implement targeted interventions to support the lower-performing schools and ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students.
