Summary:
Surry Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, Surry Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school outperforms the Surry Public Schools district and the state of Maine in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, it underperforms in Science. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate and a lack of racial diversity among its student population.
Surry Elementary School's strong academic performance in ELA and Mathematics, with 68.97% and 57.47% of students proficient or better, respectively, suggests the school is effectively supporting student learning in these core subjects. However, the school's 30% proficiency rate in Science, which is lower than the district and state averages, indicates an area for potential improvement. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9 to 1 may contribute to its academic strengths, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students.
The high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.0% at Surry Elementary School is a significant concern and may be impacting overall student achievement. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White (97.92%), with very little racial diversity, which may limit students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives. Addressing these challenges should be a priority for the school and the Surry Public Schools district to ensure all students receive a well-rounded and equitable education.
