Summary

Andover Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Andover, Maine, serving 26 students in grades PK-5. Despite facing some challenges, the school stands out for its strong academic performance and supportive learning environment.

One notable aspect of Andover Elementary is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 32.1% over the past few years - significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools. However, the school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the Andover Public Schools district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, 56.25% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 46.15% for the district and 49.38% for the state.

Another notable factor is Andover Elementary's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30% to 63.89% over the past few years. This is higher than the surrounding schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 39.57% to 81.33%. Despite these economic challenges, the school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.5 to 9 students per teacher - significantly lower than the nearby Regional School Unit 44/Maine School Admin District 44, Regional School Unit 56, and Regional School Unit 10 schools, which have ratios ranging from 9.8 to 12.3 students per teacher.
