Best Public Schools in Oxford, ME

Summary:

The city of Oxford, Maine has only one public elementary school, Oxford Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 347 students. Unfortunately, this school appears to be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in the state, with a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a declining state-wide ranking over the past three years, now sitting at 258 out of 290 Maine elementary schools.

Oxford Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6% and a relatively low-income student population, with 59.08% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's racial demographics are predominantly white (93.37%), with small percentages of other racial groups. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 11 is better than 5 other elementary schools in the same district, the overall performance of the district, Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17, is also quite low, ranking 154 out of 177 districts in the state and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In summary, Oxford, Maine has only one public elementary school, and it appears to be a low-performing school that is struggling with issues such as chronic absenteeism, a low-income student population, and declining state-wide rankings. Further investigation would be needed to determine the root causes of the school's poor performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
