New Suncook School

Summary:

New Suncook School is an elementary school located in Lovell, Maine, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 106 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 72/Maine School Admin District 72, which is ranked 77 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While New Suncook School has a higher percentage of white students (97.17%) compared to nearby schools, it has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 42nd out of 254 Maine elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 196th out of 290 in 2022-2023. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also fluctuated significantly, reaching nearly 39% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, while New Suncook School's English Language Arts proficiency rate (69.23%) is higher than the district (66.01%) and state (64.63%) averages, its Mathematics proficiency rate (32.5%) is lower than both the district (40.2%) and state (48.68%) averages.

Interestingly, while New Suncook School is part of the same district as Brownfield Denmark Elementary School and Molly Ockett School, it has significantly different performance metrics.

Additionally, in 2018-2019, New Suncook School's male students ranked 36th out of 153 Maine elementary schools, while its female students ranked 104th, indicating a potential gender gap in academic performance.

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.
