Andover Public Schools

Andover Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that serves a single elementary school, Andover Elementary School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. With an enrollment of just 30 students, Andover Elementary is a very small school, but it faces some challenges common to many schools, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and a student population with a relatively low socioeconomic status.

Andover Elementary School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 124th out of 290 Maine elementary schools. While this indicates there is room for improvement, the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1 may allow for more personalized attention. However, the school's lack of racial diversity, with a 100% white student population, is a concern and may limit the educational experiences and perspectives of its students.

Overall, Andover Public Schools faces the unique challenges of operating a very small elementary school, but with targeted interventions and support, the district has the potential to enhance the educational opportunities and outcomes for its students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and exploring ways to increase diversity and resources could be important areas of focus for the district.
