Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in Maine School Admin District 46, which serves grades PK-8. Ridge View Community School has a total enrollment of 571 students, with a predominantly White student population (95.8%).
Ridge View Community School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by MEA test scores, is below the state and district averages in all subjects. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate (6.3%) and a significant portion of students (61.3%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low performance and socioeconomic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. However, this alone does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors may be at play. Addressing the school's performance and socioeconomic issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach by the school district and community stakeholders.
