Best Public Schools in Brooksville, ME

Summary:

The city of Brooksville, Maine has a single elementary school, Brooksville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Located in a small, rural community, the school has a relatively small enrollment of just 47 students and a predominantly white student population.

Brooksville Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with its state-wide ranking fluctuating between 90th out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 144th out of 290 in the current 2022-2023 school year. The school's rating has also varied, from 3 stars out of 5 in the past two years down to just 1 star in 2020-2021. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average and could impact student learning and outcomes. Additionally, nearly a quarter of Brooksville Elementary students (23.4%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status.

Despite these challenges, Brooksville Elementary School benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 4.8, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. As the only school in the Brooksville Public Schools district, the community is likely tight-knit, though the small size may also limit the school's resources and extracurricular offerings. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the school's strengths, areas for improvement, and the factors contributing to its performance.
