Moscow Elementary

Summary:

Moscow Elementary is a small public elementary school located in Bingham, Maine, serving grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 57 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 83/Maine School Admin District 13, which is ranked 167 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moscow Elementary has several key areas of concern. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.7% to 42.0% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of most nearby schools like Solon Elementary, which has a rate of 18.4%. Academically, only 45.83% of Moscow Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 37.5% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state averages of 64.63% and 48.68%, respectively. Additionally, Moscow Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.26% to 66.67% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of most nearby schools.

While Moscow Elementary shares some similarities with nearby schools, such as high free and reduced lunch rates and low student-teacher ratios, it stands out with its significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower academic performance. For example, Solon Elementary, the closest school to Moscow Elementary, has much higher proficiency rates in ELA (72.22%) and Math (63.89%). The overall performance of the Regional School Unit 83/Maine School Admin District 13, which Moscow Elementary is a part of, is also quite low, with a ranking of 167 out of 177 districts in the state and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that the challenges faced by Moscow Elementary may be reflective of broader issues within the district.

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.
