Best Public Schools in China Village, ME

Summary:

The city of China Village, Maine is home to two schools - China Primary School and China Middle School, both part of the Regional School Unit 18 District. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population, they also exhibit distinct differences that are worth noting.

China Primary School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 39th out of 228 Maine elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 139th out of 290 in 2022-2023. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance.

In contrast, China Middle School has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 13.2, but both schools face challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and a significant portion of their student populations coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These factors may be impacting the academic performance and overall well-being of the students, and addressing these issues could be crucial for the schools' continued success.
