What stands out at East Range Ii Csd School

Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing

East Range Ii Csd School sits near the smaller end of the Maine enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.

Higher need meets a leaner resource profile

East Range Ii Csd School combines above-typical economic need with a Resource Investment Index in the lower part of the Maine distribution. This is the page's clearest equity tension: the population indicated by free-meal eligibility may require more support, while the reported staffing, counselor, gifted-program, and attendance inputs produce a comparatively lean composite. The index is not an academic grade, but the mismatch is a concrete reason to inspect each component closely.

Attendance is the dominant support signal

East Range Ii Csd School's 91.7% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.

East Range Ii Csd School is a small combined-grade school in Topsfield, Maine, enrolling 12 students.

Classes run notably small here: at 3:1, East Range Ii Csd School is leaner than roughly 99% of Maine schools and 73% under the state's 11.1:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.

Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 46.2% of students eligible for free meals.

This is a small campus: fewer students than 98% of Maine schools, with 12 enrolled.

Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 569 scored Maine schools.
