Elementary Schools in Limestone Public Schools

Summary:

Limestone Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, Limestone Community School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.

Limestone Community School's performance on state assessments is below the state average, with only 40.26% proficiency in English Language Arts, 31.17% in Mathematics, and 33.33% in Science, compared to the state averages of 63.84%, 49.38%, and 36.18%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.42% in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, which could be seen as a potential advantage, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader Limestone Public Schools community.
