Charlotte Elementary School

Q: Is Charlotte Elementary School a good school?

Charlotte Elementary School ranks 97 th of 290 Maine elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Charlotte Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Charlotte, Maine, with a student population of just 23 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its small size, the school has some notable characteristics that set it apart from nearby schools.

One key metric that stands out is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 66.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average of 64.63%. This is an area of concern that warrants further investigation. On the academic front, however, the school is performing well, with 64.71% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, outpacing the state averages. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.3, suggesting a personalized learning environment. Compared to nearby schools, Lubec Consolidated School and Eastport Elementary School, Charlotte Elementary has a higher percentage of White students and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the high chronic absenteeism rate, the school has shown improvement in its academic performance over time, with its ranking among Maine elementary schools increasing from 176 out of 209 in 2008-2009 to 97 out of 290 in the current school year. This suggests that the school's small size and focus on individualized attention may be paying off. As part of the Regional School Unit 85/Maine School Admin District 19, Charlotte Elementary School is part of a district that is ranked 58 out of 177 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
