Mt Abram Regional High School

Summary:

Mt Abram Regional High School is a public high school serving 213 students in grades 9-12 in Salem Twp, Maine, as part of Regional School Unit 58/Maine School Admin District 58. While the school has seen steady improvement in its graduation rates, reaching 90.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, it faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and academic performance.

Mt Abram Regional High School's graduation rates are higher than nearby Mt Blue High School (85.4%) and Carrabec High School (78.5%), but its chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 47.8% to 50.9% over the past three years, are significantly higher than the 35.9% and 36.9% rates at Mt Blue High School and Carrabec High School, respectively. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (59.65%), Mathematics (42.11%), and Science (40.43%) are lower than the district and state averages, suggesting a need for academic improvement.

While Mt Abram Regional High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from a high of 20th out of 106 Maine high schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 101st out of 114 in 2018-2019, the school's performance has been inconsistent. Additionally, the school faces potential gender-based performance gaps, with both female and male students ranked in the bottom 20% of Maine high schools in the 2018-2019 school year. By addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Mt Abram Regional High School can work towards becoming a more well-rounded and high-performing institution.

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.
