Summary:
The Winthrop Grade School is the sole elementary school in the Winthrop Public Schools district in Maine, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 389 students. While the school has some positive academic metrics, such as test scores slightly above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it also faces significant challenges that place it in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools.
Winthrop Grade School's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is notably higher than the state average, and its science proficiency rate of 16.67% is well below the state average of 36.18%. The school is ranked 151 out of 289 Maine elementary schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. These factors suggest the school may need to implement targeted interventions and improvements to address its declining performance and support student learning more effectively.
In contrast, the Winthrop Public Schools district as a whole is ranked 74 out of 176 districts in Maine and is rated 3 out of 5 stars, performing slightly better than the individual Winthrop Grade School. This discrepancy highlights the need for the district to closely examine the challenges facing Winthrop Grade School and develop strategies to improve its academic outcomes and overall performance.
