Airline Central School District


Summary:

Airline Central School District in Maine is a small, rural school district with only one school, Airline Community School, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of just 36 students. This small school faces unique challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, a high poverty rate, and a homogeneous student population.

Airline Community School was once ranked 84th out of 195 Maine elementary schools in 2007-2008, but its ranking has since plummeted to 278th out of 290 in 2022-2023, suggesting a potential decline in academic performance. With over 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a relatively low-income student population, which could impact the school's resources and educational outcomes. Additionally, the school's student body is overwhelmingly white (97.22%), with a small Hispanic population (2.78%), limiting students' exposure to diverse perspectives.

However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.7 suggests that students may benefit from a more personalized learning experience, with teachers able to provide more individualized attention and support. As the sole school in the Airline Central School District, which is ranked 173 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, Airline Community School faces significant challenges, but its small size may also allow for a more tailored educational approach.
