Elementary Schools in Yarmouth Schools

Summary:

The Yarmouth Schools district in Maine is home to two elementary schools: Yarmouth Elementary School and William H Rowe School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through fifth grade and are known for their strong academic performance.

Yarmouth Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 11 elementary schools in Maine and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with 85.92% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 84.51% in Mathematics for the 2024-2025 school year. In contrast, William H Rowe School has test scores that are closer to the state and district averages.

Both schools in the Yarmouth Schools district have higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, which could be an area for further investigation and improvement. Additionally, the difference in free and reduced lunch rates between the two schools suggests potential socioeconomic disparities within the district, which could impact student performance and resource allocation. The slightly higher student-teacher ratio at Yarmouth Elementary School may contribute to its academic success, as smaller class sizes can often lead to more personalized attention and support for students.
