Dayton Public Schools has only one elementary school, Dayton Consolidated School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. With a student population of 120, the school has a relatively small class size and a student-teacher ratio of 9.4, lower than the state average.
Academically, Dayton Consolidated School performs slightly above the Dayton Public Schools district and state averages in English Language Arts, but lags behind in Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% is higher than the state average, indicating a need to address attendance issues. Economically, the school has a relatively low level of economic disadvantage, with 20% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 65th out of 258 Maine elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 129th out of 290 in 2022-2023. This suggests inconsistent performance or external factors influencing the school's ranking. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White, at 94.17%, lacking diversity that could enrich the educational experiences of its students.
