Best Public Schools in West Newfield, ME

Summary:

The city of West Newfield, Maine has only one school, Line Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Admin District 57. While Line Elementary has a predominantly white student population, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 99th out of 228 Maine elementary schools to 184th out of 290.

One area of concern for Line Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (42.37%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic need among the student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is better than 3 other elementary schools in the same district, which could be a strength.

Overall, while Line Elementary is the only school in West Newfield, the data suggests that it faces some challenges, such as declining performance relative to other schools in the state and high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these issues could be a priority for the school and the district in order to improve the educational outcomes for the students in this community.
