How Sebago Elementary School compares with Maine and U.S. medians
What stands out at Sebago Elementary School
Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream
Sebago Elementary 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.
Need and resources require a component-level read
Sebago Elementary School falls within the wide middle of the Maine distribution on both free-meal eligibility and the Resource Investment Index. Neither measure supplies an honest headline by itself. The useful distinctions are in the components: classroom staffing, counselor availability, attendance, gifted-program access, and district spending. Those fields can pull in opposite directions even when the overall percentile looks ordinary.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Sebago Elementary School's 44.0% 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.
Sebago Elementary School is a lower-poverty, mid-sized combined-grade school in Sebago, Maine, enrolling 116 students.
At 10.5:1, 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, 15.7% free-meal eligibility runs 54% below the Maine average.
Enrollment of 116 puts it in the smaller third of Maine schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 569 scored Maine schools.

Its student body is predominantly White (91% of enrollment) (diversity index 18/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 44.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
