Granite Street School

Summary:

Granite Street School is an elementary school located in Millinocket, Maine, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 225 students. The school is part of the Millinocket Public Schools district, which is ranked 112 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Granite Street School has a predominantly white student population, with 93.33% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Opal Myrick Elementary School, which has a 95.07% white student population. The school has shown mixed academic performance, outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but underperforming in Science. However, Granite Street School has had high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 27.6% of students chronically absent, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Opal Myrick Elementary School, which had a 34.3% chronic absenteeism rate.

Granite Street School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, and the school's low-socioeconomic status students have performed poorly compared to other Maine elementary schools. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 students per teacher, it faces challenges in addressing the needs of its student population, particularly in the areas of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. Comparing the school's performance to the nearby Opal Myrick Elementary School, which has outperformed Granite Street School in some academic areas, suggests that there may be opportunities for Granite Street School to learn from its neighbor's strategies and practices.

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.
