Summary:
The Winthrop Public Schools district in Maine consists of three schools: Winthrop Grade School, Winthrop Middle School, and Winthrop High School. The district's elementary and middle schools stand out as top-performing institutions, with Winthrop Grade School ranked 10th out of 228 Maine elementary schools and Winthrop Middle School consistently ranking among the top 12-13 middle schools in the state.
However, the high school's performance has been more variable, with a drop from a 3-star to a 2-star rating in recent years. The high school also faces challenges, such as a relatively lower graduation rate of 84.7% and a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% compared to the elementary and middle schools. These factors suggest potential areas for improvement at the high school level.
Across the district, a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 26.7% at the high school to 35.92% at the elementary school. This socioeconomic factor may have implications for the schools' resources, support systems, and overall educational outcomes, and should be considered in understanding the district's performance and needs.
