Best Public Schools in Harmony, ME

Summary:

The city of Harmony, Maine is home to a single public school, Harmony Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 58 students. Harmony Elementary is part of the Harmony Public Schools district, which is ranked 165 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harmony Elementary has seen a decline in its performance over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 107 out of 254 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 249 out of 290 in the current 2022-2023 school year. The school's rating has also fallen from 3 stars to 1 star during this time. This decline in performance is concerning and may be due to factors such as changes in student demographics, teaching quality, or resource allocation. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1%, which is linked to lower academic achievement and increased risk of dropout.

Despite these challenges, Harmony Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10, which may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, the school serves a student population that is predominantly white (94.83%) and has a significant portion (77.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Understanding and addressing these issues could be crucial in supporting the success of Harmony Elementary and its students.
