Summary:
The Regional School Unit 85/Maine School Admin District 19 contains only one elementary school, Lubec Consolidated School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 86 students. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, it has faced declining performance over the years, ranking 231 out of 290 Maine elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lubec Consolidated School's student population is predominantly White, with 98.84% of students identifying as such and only a small percentage of Hispanic students (1.16%). The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 20.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance in the MEA/Science assessment is slightly higher than the district average but lower than the state average, indicating room for improvement.
Additionally, Lubec Consolidated School serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 100% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may be a contributing factor to the school's overall performance and the need for additional support and resources to address the unique needs of its student population.
