Best Public Schools in Cherryfield, ME

Summary:

The city of Cherryfield, Maine has only one public school, Cherryfield Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a relatively small student population of 90 students, its performance and quality have been inconsistent, with its state-wide ranking fluctuating significantly over the past few years.

Cherryfield Elementary currently ranks 157 out of 290 elementary schools in Maine, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's racial makeup is predominantly white, with 95.56% of students identifying as such. However, it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, with over 53% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.3%, which is significantly above the state average and may impact student learning and academic outcomes.

While the small size of Cherryfield Elementary could offer some advantages, such as more personalized attention, the school's inconsistent performance, high chronic absenteeism rate, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest that it may face challenges in providing a high-quality education. Parents considering Cherryfield Public Schools should carefully evaluate the school's strengths and weaknesses to determine if it is the best fit for their child's educational needs.
