Summary:
The city of Westbrook, Maine is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Westbrook Public Schools district. While the schools share a common district, the data reveals significant disparities in their performance, with some standout schools and others struggling to meet statewide benchmarks.
The Oxford-Cumberland Canal School emerges as a bright spot, with the lowest student-teacher ratio and chronic absenteeism rate among the elementary schools. In contrast, Saccarappa School faces challenges, with the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients and the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district. The middle and high schools also struggle, with low statewide rankings and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Across the district, the schools serve a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American and Asian students. However, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest that the Westbrook Public Schools district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the disparities in school performance. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions could help to raise the overall quality of education in the Westbrook school system.
