How Edgecomb Eddy School compares with Maine and U.S. medians
What stands out at Edgecomb Eddy School
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Edgecomb Eddy School is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Maine schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.
Lower measured need does not translate into broad resources
Edgecomb Eddy School's free-meal eligibility sits below much of the Maine distribution, yet its Resource Investment Index also lands in the lower tier. That breaks the common assumption that a lower-need intake automatically produces stronger reported capacity. The component scores below are therefore more useful than a socioeconomic shortcut: staffing, counselors, gifted access, and attendance determine where the composite is being lost.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Edgecomb Eddy School's 33.6% 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.
Edgecomb Eddy School is a lower-poverty, mid-sized combined-grade school in Edgecomb, Maine, enrolling 113 students.
At 11.3:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Maine median, within a few percentage points of the 11.1:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Comparatively few students face economic hardship here, 12.1% free-meal eligibility runs 64% below the Maine average.
Enrollment of 113 puts it in the smaller third of Maine schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 569 scored Maine schools.
Among 35 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Maine schools statewide, it ranks #26, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly White (94% of enrollment) (diversity index 12/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 188 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 33.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Edgecomb Public Schools operates only this one school, so Edgecomb Eddy School has no district-mates to compare against locally.
