Summary:
Jefferson Public Schools has only one elementary school, Jefferson Village School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Located in Maine, the school has a student population of 235, with a predominantly white demographic makeup. While the school's academic performance is mixed, it stands out in certain areas.
Jefferson Village School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science proficiency, with 69.18% and 51.06% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate of 47.62% is slightly lower than the district and state averages. The school's strong performance in Science is noteworthy, as it exceeds the state average by over 14 percentage points. On the other hand, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.3% is higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as nearly 40% of students at Jefferson Village School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1, which may help provide more individualized attention and support to its students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 90th out of 228 Maine elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 123rd out of 290 in 2022-2023, suggesting the need for a longer-term analysis to identify any consistent patterns.
