Easton Elementary School

Q: Is Easton Elementary School a good school?

Easton Elementary School ranks 40 th of 290 Maine elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Easton Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the town of Easton, Maine, with a student population of 115 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic proficiency, ranking 40th out of 290 Maine elementary schools and 13th out of 64 for its performance with low-income students.

Easton Elementary School's academic excellence is evident, with 76.79% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 64.29% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 64.63% and 48.68%, respectively. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 13.5 over the past three years, suggests a more personalized learning environment. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.6% in 2021-2022 to 17.9% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school may need to address.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Limestone Community School and Washburn District Elementary School, Easton Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. However, the school's predominantly White student population may present an opportunity to foster a more diverse and inclusive learning environment, as exposure to diverse perspectives can be beneficial for student development.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
