Best Public Schools in East Waterboro, ME

Summary:

The city of East Waterboro, Maine is home to two schools: Massabesic Middle School and Waterboro Elementary School. Both schools are part of the Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Admin District 57, which is ranked 93 out of 177 districts in the state.

Waterboro Elementary School stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.1) among the district's elementary schools, potentially indicating a more personalized learning environment. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, higher than the state average. Massabesic Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 40% of Maine middle schools over the past 3 years, with a 3-star rating, while Waterboro Elementary School has ranked in the top 50% of Maine elementary schools, also with a 3-star rating.

However, the schools face some challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Massabesic Middle School (25.4%), and a significant portion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates. Addressing these issues could be a focus area for improvement within the district.
