Elementary Schools in Regional School Unit 67

Summary:

Regional School Unit 67 in Maine has only one elementary school, Ella P Burr School, which serves grades PK-3 with an enrollment of 325 students. While the school's small class sizes could be a potential strength, its overall performance is concerning, with declining academic proficiency rates, high poverty and absenteeism levels, and a low statewide ranking of 249 out of 289 Maine elementary schools.

Ella P Burr School's students perform below the regional and state averages on state assessments, with only 51.28% proficient or better in ELA and 42.31% in math, compared to 58.9% and 48.56% in the district, and 63.84% and 49.38% statewide, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, and over half (53.23%) of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's small student-teacher ratio of 11.6, these factors suggest that Regional School Unit 67 and Ella P Burr School face significant challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of their students. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes and provide the necessary resources and support for the school's population.
