Tremont Public Schools

Tremont Public Schools is a small school district in Maine, consisting of a single elementary school, Tremont Consolidated School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 118 students.

Tremont Consolidated School has a predominantly white student population, with 98.31% of students identifying as white. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a significant drop in its state-wide ranking and rating from the 2020-2021 school year to the 2022-2023 school year, when it ranked 235 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and received a 1-star rating. This decline may be partly attributed to the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5%, which is a concerning issue that needs to be addressed. Additionally, 33.9% of students at Tremont Consolidated School receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can have implications for the school's resources and support systems.

Despite these challenges, Tremont Consolidated School's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 6.2 could be potential strengths, as they may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's overall performance and the factors contributing to its fluctuating outcomes suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and ensure the success of this small, rural school within the Tremont Public Schools district.
