Summary:
The city of Baileyville, Maine is home to two schools: Woodland Junior-Senior High School and Woodland Elementary School, both part of the Baileyville Public Schools district. While the elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools, the high school has seen a significant decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 24th out of 114 Maine high schools in 2018-2019 to 91st out of 123 in 2022-2023.
Both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free and reduced lunch, with Woodland Elementary School at 48.67% and Woodland Junior-Senior High School at 46.15%, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges in the Baileyville community. Additionally, the high school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% compared to the elementary school's 12.1%, which is an area of concern that warrants further investigation.
The racial makeup of the two schools also differs, with Woodland Elementary School having a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.69%) compared to Woodland Junior-Senior High School (85.16%). This could suggest potential issues with equity and inclusion that should be explored further. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the educational landscape in Baileyville, with both strengths and areas for improvement within the school system.
