Summary

Etna-Dixmont School is an elementary school serving 180 students in grades PK-4 in Etna, Maine. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 19 district, which is ranked 134 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Etna-Dixmont School has shown strong academic performance in recent years, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (62.32%) and Mathematics (57.97%) on the Maine Educational Assessments, outperforming both the district and state averages. However, the school's performance for special education students is relatively low, ranking 149 out of 192 Maine elementary schools. The school also faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.4% to 34.4% over the past few years, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

When compared to nearby schools, Etna-Dixmont School generally performs better than other schools in the same Regional School Unit 19 district, such as Sebasticook Valley Elementary School. However, some schools in other districts, such as Earl C McGraw School and George B Weatherbee School in the Regional School Unit 22 district, outperform Etna-Dixmont School academically. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio may be a contributing factor to its stronger academic performance compared to some of the nearby schools.
