Best Public Schools in West Paris, ME

Summary:

The city of West Paris, Maine is home to a single elementary school, the Agnes Gray School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17, which is ranked 154 out of 177 districts in the state.

While there are no clear standout schools in the data set, the performance and characteristics of the Agnes Gray School reveal some areas of concern. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools over the past three years, receiving a 1-star rating out of 5. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1%, which may be contributing to its low academic performance. However, the school does have a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to students.

The data also suggests that the Agnes Gray School serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 52.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This indicates a need for additional resources and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for the students. Overall, the Agnes Gray School and the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17 may need to focus on improving academic performance, addressing attendance issues, and supporting the economically disadvantaged student population to achieve better outcomes.
