St George School

Summary:

St George School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Tenants Harbor, Maine, with a student population of 209. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 13, which is ranked 79 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

St George School has some unique characteristics, such as a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.61%) compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school has performed well in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average, but has struggled in Mathematics and Science. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with a significant gender gap in academic achievement and fluctuating statewide rankings. While St George School outperforms some nearby schools, it lags behind higher-performing institutions like Bristol Consolidated School and Nobleboro Central School in overall academic achievement and statewide rankings.

One area of concern for St George School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 29.9% to 43.2% over the past three school years, higher than the nearby schools. This, along with the relatively lower performance in Mathematics and Science, suggests that the school may need to focus on improving student attendance and strengthening its curriculum and instruction in these subject areas to better support the academic growth of its students.

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.
