Top rankedBay Ridge Elementary247^th of 289 Maine elementary schools

Summary:

The 04626 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Bay Ridge Elementary, which serves grades PK-8. With a small student population of just 42 students, Bay Ridge Elementary faces unique challenges and opportunities compared to larger schools. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, its academic proficiency rates in math lag behind both the Cutler Public Schools district and the state averages, indicating a need to focus on improving math instruction and outcomes.

Bay Ridge Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50%) suggests the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact the school's resources and student needs.

Despite these challenges, Bay Ridge Elementary's small size and student-teacher ratio of 8.2 to 1 could provide opportunities for more personalized attention and community engagement. However, the school's fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 117th out of 288 Maine elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 247th out of 289 in 2024-2025, indicates the need for consistent improvement and support to ensure the best possible outcomes for its students.
