Enfield Station Elementary School

Summary:

Enfield Station Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 210 students in grades PK-5 in West Enfield, Maine, part of the Regional School Unit 31/Maine School Admin District 31. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with 65.31% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 65% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district and state. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 7.3 to 9.0, lower than nearby schools.

While Enfield Station Elementary School's academic performance is strong, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 76 out of 186 Maine elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 90 out of 290 in 2022-2023. The school also faces challenges, such as a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 23.5% compared to the state average, and a significant gender disparity in student performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.27% to 61.85% over the past three school years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Milo Elementary School, Lee/Winn School, and Alton Elementary School, Enfield Station Elementary School generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, student-teacher ratio, and chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's ranking and socioeconomic factors suggest that there may be room for improvement to better support the needs of the student population.

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.
