St George School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the state averages. The school's ELA proficiency rate of 72.58% exceeds the state average of 64.63%, and its science proficiency rate of 39.13% also tops the state average of 36.36%. However, the school's math proficiency rate of 45.04% lags the state average of 48.68%. While the school has consistently ranked in the top half of Maine elementary schools over the past 3 years, its ranking has declined slightly from 92nd to 135th. The school's student-teacher ratio of 9:1 is quite low, indicating a high level of individualized attention.
Despite the school's academic strengths, it faces some challenges. The school has a very high percentage of White students (97.61%) and a low percentage of minority students, which may be an area to explore in terms of inclusivity and representation. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.9% is quite high, and with 38.28% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support.
