Summary

Moscow Elementary is a small public elementary school located in Bingham, Maine, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 54 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 83/Maine School Admin District 13, which is ranked 138 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moscow Elementary faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 38.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Main Street Middle School (23.4%) and Garret Schenck School (23.4%). Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 55.56% of students proficient or better in ELA and 44.44% proficient or better in Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 63.84% and 49.38% statewide, respectively.

Moscow Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.26% to 66.67% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Main Street Middle School (60.57%) and Garret Schenck School (72.04%). While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.5 to 7.8 over the past few years, its overall performance has been declining, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and fluctuating star ratings from SchoolDigger. However, some nearby schools, such as Harmony Elementary and Solon Elementary, have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Moscow Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools.
