Summary

Central Community Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Corinth, Maine, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 496 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 64/Maine School Admin District 64, which is ranked 149 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central Community Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.0% to 31.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments (MEA) is below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 51.69% in ELA, 46.63% in Math, and 15.63% 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, ranging from 47.42% to 55.62% over the past few years, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Se Do Mo Cha Elementary School and Carmel Elementary School, Central Community Elementary School generally performs worse on key metrics such as test scores and chronic absenteeism. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past few years, from 170 out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 241 out of 289 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend in the school's overall performance. To address these challenges, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies, as well as collaborate with nearby higher-performing schools and the district administration to improve student outcomes.
