Vine Street School

Summary:

Vine Street School is an elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Bangor Public Schools, a district ranked 37 out of 177 in Maine with a 4-star rating. With 176 students enrolled, Vine Street School consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics where 78.38% of students were proficient or better, compared to 58.59% for the district and 47.21% for the state.

Despite serving a higher proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.39% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Vine Street School has demonstrated strong performance among specific student subgroups. In 2018-2019, the school ranked 19th out of 153 Maine elementary schools for female students and 14th out of 82 schools for low socioeconomic status students, both receiving 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school has effective strategies in place to support and engage these students.

However, Vine Street School has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 27.3% over the past few years, an area of concern that the school and district may need to address. When compared to nearby schools, such as Downeast School, which has lower academic proficiency and a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, Vine Street School stands out as a high-performing institution in the Bangor Public Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
