Summary:
Regional School Unit 28/Maine School Admin District 28 contains one elementary school, Camden-Rockport Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 380 students. This school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Maine and exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Camden-Rockport Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its statewide rankings, which have placed it 39th out of 290 schools in the 2022-2023 school year, 16th out of 210 schools in the 2021-2022 school year, and 42nd out of 228 schools in the 2020-2021 school year. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (71.07%) and Mathematics (78.13%) for the 2022-2023 school year are significantly higher than the state averages of 64.63% and 48.68%, respectively. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 likely contributes to its strong academic performance by providing students with more individualized attention and support.
However, the school faces some challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.6% for the 2022-2023 school year, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White (95%), with a lack of racial diversity, which may not reflect the diversity of the broader community. The school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (19.21%) suggests a relatively affluent student population, which could have implications for the school's resources and the support available to students from lower-income families.
