Summary

Brooksville Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Brooksville, Maine. With just 40 students, it is one of the smallest schools in the area and part of the Brooksville Public Schools district, which is ranked 106 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Brooksville Elementary has seen fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 90 to 191 out of Maine's elementary schools. In the most recent year, 75% of Brooksville students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, outperforming the district (66.67%) and state (63.84%) averages. However, in math, only 35% of Brooksville students were proficient, lower than the district (41.67%) and state (49.38%) averages. Compared to nearby schools, Brooksville performs better than Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary but lags behind top-performing schools like Edna Drinkwater School and Penobscot Elementary.

Another area of concern is Brooksville Elementary's increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 21% in 2021-2022 to 45.5% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the 23.4% reported by most nearby schools. On a positive note, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20% to 23.4%, suggesting a more affluent student population. Additionally, Brooksville Elementary has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4.6 to 6.1 in recent years, which could be a potential advantage in providing more individualized attention for students.
