Public Grades
Summary

Viola Rand School is an elementary school located in Bradley, Maine, serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 74 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges that impact its overall performance and quality.

One key issue is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which spiked from 20% in 2020-2021 to an alarming 72.4% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average and surrounding schools like Fruit Street School and Alton Elementary School. Additionally, Viola Rand School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (53.33%) lag behind the district (56.63%) and state (64.63%) averages. The school also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.59% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, Viola Rand School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 115 out of 261 Maine elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 266 out of 290 in 2022-2023. This decline in performance, coupled with the school's high chronic absenteeism and economic challenges, suggests that Viola Rand School may need to learn from the successes of higher-performing schools in the Regional School Unit 34 district and address issues of equity and inclusion to improve outcomes for its students.
