Edgecomb Eddy School's academic performance and rankings are generally higher than the nearby Dresden Elementary School and Marcia Buker School, but it lags behind the top-performing schools in the area, such as South Bristol Elementary School and Nobleboro Central School.

One concerning trend at Edgecomb Eddy School is the sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.0% in 2020-2021 to 22.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 41.12% in 2020-2021 to 12.15% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and most of the nearby schools. These changes in the school's socioeconomic makeup may be a contributing factor to its academic performance and the fluctuations in its ranking over the years.

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.
