Summary:
Acton Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, Acton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 246 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with strong academic performance in English Language Arts (ELA) that exceeds both the district and state averages. However, the school's mathematics and science proficiency rates are more in line with state and district levels.
Acton Elementary School stands out for its relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which is lower than the state average. This may contribute to the school's academic strengths, particularly in ELA. On the other hand, the school faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 18.8%, and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 28.46% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, Acton Public Schools has a single elementary school that demonstrates strong performance in ELA, but faces room for improvement in mathematics and science, as well as addressing issues related to chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among its student population. The school's small class sizes may be a contributing factor to its academic successes, but the district and community will need to explore ways to address the identified areas of concern.
