Summary:

Gray-New Gloucester High School is a public high school serving 601 students in grades 9-12 in the Regional School Unit 15/Maine School Admin District 15 in Gray, Maine. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic performance, with 72.44% of students proficient or better in ELA and 48.89% proficient or better in math, compared to the state averages of 64.63% and 48.68%, respectively.

Gray-New Gloucester High School maintains a high 91.1% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average of 85.04%. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.1%, which is an area of concern. Compared to nearby schools, Gray-New Gloucester High School outperforms many in academic metrics, such as Lewiston High School, which had significantly lower test scores and a lower graduation rate. This suggests that Gray-New Gloucester High School serves a more affluent student population, with only 22.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 49.4% at Lewiston High School.

While Gray-New Gloucester High School has a predominantly white student population, with 90.52% of students identifying as white, some nearby schools, such as Casco Bay High School and Lewiston High School, have much more diverse student bodies. This lack of racial diversity at Gray-New Gloucester High School is an area that the school and district may want to further explore and address.

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.
