Easton Junior-Senior High School

Summary:

Easton Junior-Senior High School is a small public high school in Easton, Maine, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of just 93 as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school has some notable strengths, such as a 100% four-year graduation rate and low chronic absenteeism, it faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Easton Junior-Senior High School stands out for its high percentage of white students (96.77%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school also boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, significantly lower than the ratios of some neighboring schools like Caribou High School (15.5) and Presque Isle High School (13.6). However, the school's academic performance on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) tests is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (54.9%) and Mathematics (39.22%) falling below the state averages.

Easton Junior-Senior High School's performance and ranking have been inconsistent over the years, ranging from 12th out of 98 Maine high schools in 2014-2015 to 96th out of 114 in 2018-2019. This suggests the school may face challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students (29.03%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low-income families, could be a contributing factor to its academic performance. While the school is part of the ME School of Science & Mathematics district, which is ranked 50 out of 177 districts in Maine, it lags behind some nearby schools like ME School of Science & Mathematics and Fort Fairfield Middle/High School in overall academic performance and statewide rankings.

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.
