Summary:
Mechanic Falls, Maine is home to a single elementary school, Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 245 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 16 district, which ranks 110 out of 177 districts in Maine and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls has a predominantly white student population (91.43%), with smaller percentages of other racial groups. However, the school has a low statewide ranking, placing 281 out of 290 Maine elementary schools, and a 0-star rating. This is likely due to the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.9% and the fact that 40.82% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4, which is the lowest among the 3 elementary schools in the Regional School Unit 16 district. This suggests the school is allocating resources effectively in terms of staffing, but other factors may be impacting student achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Elm Street School-Mechanic Falls is a low-performing elementary school that faces significant challenges, and further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
