Summary:
Regional School Unit 68/Maine School Admin District 68 is a small school district in Maine that serves two schools: Se Do Mo Cha Elementary School and Se Do Mo Cha Middle School. The district is ranked 112 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Both the elementary and middle schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past three years, with the middle school dropping from a 2-star to a 1-star rating. The schools have relatively average performance metrics compared to the state averages, with the elementary school's ELA and Math proficiency rates below the district and state averages, while the middle school's performance is more mixed. The high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4% at both schools are concerning and may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
The district serves a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools (over 40%). However, the student-teacher ratios at both schools are lower than the state average, indicating that class sizes are relatively small, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, the data suggests that Regional School Unit 68/Maine School Admin District 68 is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement, and addressing these issues may be key priorities for the district moving forward.
