Summary:
The Regional School Unit 01 - Lkrsu district in Maine consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Phippsburg Elementary School consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while Morse High School and Bath Middle School lag behind the district and state averages.
Phippsburg Elementary School, a small school with just 105 students, stands out with exceptional performance, boasting the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (75%), Mathematics (77.27%), and Science (47.06%) compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, Woolwich Central School, a PK-8 school, also performs well, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in ELA (68.21%) and Math (48.45%), and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 28.76%.
The data also reveals concerning trends, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the district, significantly above the state average. Additionally, the range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 28.76% at Woolwich Central to 53.68% at Fisher-Mitchell School, indicates a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, which may require tailored support and resources to meet the needs of all students.
