North Haven Community School

Summary:

North Haven Community School is an alternative public school serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 50 students in the small coastal town of North Haven, Maine. This unique school stands out for its small class sizes, strong academic performance, and diverse student population, though it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates.

North Haven Community School's academic performance is on par with regional and state averages, with 66.67% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Maine Educational Assessment. However, the school has experienced significant fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 9.6% to 34.0% over the past three years, which is an area of concern. In comparison, nearby Vinalhaven School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 38.5%, while Islesboro Central School has much higher proficiency rates and a 100% four-year graduation rate.

North Haven Community School's student population is unique, with 90% of students identifying as White, compared to the more diverse student bodies at nearby schools. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 4.4 to 5.0 over the past three years, which allows for more individualized attention and support. Additionally, the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 25.53% to 28.0% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
