Stratton Elementary School

Summary:

Stratton Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Stratton, Maine, with a total enrollment of 99 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 58/Maine School Admin District 58, which is ranked 128 out of 177 districts in the state.

Stratton Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, ranging from 90% to 96% over the past three years. Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that were higher than the district average but lower than the state average in the most recent year. However, in the previous two years, the school's proficiency rates were above the state average. Chronic absenteeism has been a concern, fluctuating from 10.8% to 37.3% over the past three years, which is notably higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status of the student population.

Comparing Stratton Elementary School to the nearby Kingfield Elementary School, both schools have similar racial demographics and student-teacher ratios. However, Kingfield Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The recent decline in academic performance at Stratton Elementary School and the fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates are areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure the continued success of the school and its students.

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.
