Augusta Public Schools

Summary:

The Augusta Public Schools district in Maine consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of standout and underperforming schools within the district, with notable differences in student performance, resources, and socioeconomic factors.

The Lillian Parks Hussey School stands out as the highest-ranked elementary school in the district, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Maine. It also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (26.3%) and the second-best student-teacher ratio (13.5) among the elementary schools. In contrast, Cony High School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate (43.7%) and the highest student-teacher ratio (15.3) in the district, which may impact the quality of education and support provided to students.

The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges within the district, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 39.56% at Cony High School to 60.73% at Farrington School. This suggests that the district serves a population with significant economic hardships, which may contribute to the consistently low statewide rankings observed across most schools. The district's leadership may need to focus on addressing these socioeconomic factors to improve educational outcomes for all students.
