Summary:

Eva Hoyt Zippel School is an elementary school located in Presque Isle, Maine, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 259. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 79/Maine School Admin District 01, which is ranked 59 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance over the years, its recent proficiency rates in English Language Arts (61.57%), Mathematics (57.09%), and Science (20.73%) have been lower than the district and state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 45.6% in 2021-2022 and 25.4% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. Interestingly, the nearby Mapleton Elementary School consistently outperforms Eva Hoyt Zippel School in academic metrics, while Limestone Community School, a school outside the district, has significantly lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to nearby schools, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students with special education needs, has also been consistently lower than the state averages for those subgroups. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving student outcomes and ensuring the long-term success of Eva Hoyt Zippel School.

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.
