Lubec Consolidated School

Summary:

Lubec Consolidated School is an elementary school in Lubec, Maine, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 86 students. The school faces significant challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a student population with high poverty levels.

Lubec Consolidated School has a notably higher percentage of white students (98.84%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. However, the school underperforms on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rate in MEA/Science for all grades (28.57%) was slightly higher than the Regional School Unit 85/Maine School Admin District 19 average (28.13%) but significantly lower than the state average (36.36%). Additionally, Lubec Consolidated School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 36.3% over the past three school years, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools.

The school's extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.59% to 100% over the past three school years, indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. While Lubec Consolidated School has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the surrounding schools, such as Bay Ridge Elementary and Charlotte Elementary School, it still underperforms on key metrics, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics and staffing ratios may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
