Elementary Schools in Cutler Public Schools

The Cutler Public Schools district in Maine has only one elementary school, Bay Ridge Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While there are no other elementary schools in the district to compare, the data provides a detailed look at the performance and characteristics of this school.

Bay Ridge Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with a small percentage of Native American and multiracial students. Academically, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate is slightly above the district and state averages, but its mathematics proficiency rate is slightly below. The school also faces challenges with a 12.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which can impact student learning. Nearly half of the students at Bay Ridge Elementary are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support.

Over the past decade, Bay Ridge Elementary's ranking and rating within the state of Maine have fluctuated, suggesting variable academic performance. The school's current ranking of 162 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger provide a mixed picture of its overall performance. Addressing areas of concern, such as mathematics proficiency and chronic absenteeism, could help the school improve its standing and better support the learning needs of its diverse student population.
