Blue Hill Consolidated School

Summary:

Blue Hill Consolidated School is an elementary school serving 243 students in grades PK-8 in the town of Blue Hill, Maine, which is part of the Blue Hill Public Schools district. This well-performing school consistently exceeds state averages in academic proficiency and maintains a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top third of Maine elementary schools.

One of the school's key strengths is its academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science exceeding the state averages in 2022-2023. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

While Lamoine Consolidated School has a higher statewide ranking and proficiency rates in some subjects, Blue Hill Consolidated School generally outperforms many of the nearby schools on academic measures. The school's demographic makeup is less diverse than some of its neighbors, such as Ellsworth Elementary-Middle School and Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary School, which have higher percentages of non-White students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
