Summary:
The data set provided contains information about one elementary school, Madison Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and is located within Regional School Unit 59/Maine School Admin District 59. Madison Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The school has a low ranking and rating on the SchoolDigger scale, with its performance declining over the past few years. Academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) for English Language Arts and Mathematics, is below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.
However, Madison Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, which could be a strength that the school can leverage to provide more personalized instruction and support for its students. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism, academic performance, and socioeconomic factors may be crucial for the school and district to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
