Summary

Sedgwick Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Sedgwick, Maine. With a total enrollment of 73 students, the school is part of the Sedgwick Public Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sedgwick Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state average and nearby high-performing schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 59.57% proficiency in English Language Arts, 51.06% in Math, and 21.74% in Science, while the state averages were 63.84%, 49.38%, and 36.18%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.4% to 33.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Sedgwick Elementary has a higher proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.84% to 55.13% over the past few years, indicating a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Edna Drinkwater School in Northport, Trenton Elementary School, Surry Elementary School, Penobscot Elementary School, and Adams School in Castine, Sedgwick Elementary's performance is generally lower, with significantly higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues, particularly the academic performance and chronic absenteeism, should be a priority for the school and the Sedgwick Public Schools district to improve student outcomes.
