Summary

The school is part of the Regional School Unit 14 district, which is ranked 101 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Raymond Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent, with the school ranking as high as 49th in the state in 2014-2015 and as low as 212th in 2024-2025. In the 2024-2025 school year, 62.11% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 64.39% in the district and 63.84% statewide. In mathematics, 42.11% of students were proficient or better, compared to 48.54% in the district and 49.38% statewide. The school's performance is generally lower than Burchard A Dunn School and Manchester School, but higher than Otisfield Community School and Poland Community School.

A concerning trend at Raymond Elementary School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.6% in 2021-2022 to 25.5% in 2022-2023 and 23.4% in 2023-2024. This rate is higher than the chronic absenteeism rates reported for nearby schools. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is notably lower than the overall school performance, indicating a need to address the needs of these subgroups. Addressing the root causes of high absenteeism and focusing on improving the academic outcomes of underperforming subgroups should be priorities for the school and district.
