Your school does not meet criterion R1.

Schools and communities are encouraged to use this information in examining your school’s past, current and future academic performance and efficient use of resources. This School Efficiency Profile presents one measure of efficiency to supplement the materials used in your on-going work to improve the education of Maine’s children.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Machias Memorial High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 1.99 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P3.

Criterion P5:The school's graduation rate is compared to the state average.

School Graduation Rate 77.78

State Average Graduation Rate 82.77

Your school does not meet criterion P1.

Criterion P3: The school's cumulative percent of students who Meet or Exceed proficiency on the grade 11 MHSA is compared to the state comparison percent.

Criterion P4: The school's cumulative percent of students who at least Partially Meet proficiency, which includes those who Partially Meet, Meet and Exceed the standard, on the grade 11 MHSA is compared to the state comparison percent.

School Percent Meets or Exceeds School Percent at least Partially Meets

State Percent Meets or Exceeds State Percent at least Partially Meets

Criterion P1: The school's average cumulative scale score on the grade 11 MHSA is compared to the state comparison score of all students taking the same test.

Criterion P2: The school's average cumulative scale score on the grade 11 MHSA is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school meets criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Marshwood High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 6.96 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school meets criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Monmouth Academy

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 5.66 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school meets criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Mt Blue High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 5.31 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Nokomis Regional High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 3.88 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Oxford Hills Comprehensive H S

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 4.97 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Portland High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 3.79 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Sacopee Valley High Sch

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 3.85 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Searsport District High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 3.21 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.

Your school does not meet criterion P5.Criteria R1 & R2: Return on Spending of Sumner Memorial High School

The Return on Spending in Criteria R1 and R2 is a simplified cost-benefit ratio that measures the school’s percentage of students that Meet or Exceed the standards in relation to operating expenditure per pupil. Before calculating the Return on Spending, per-pupil operating expenditure was adjusted for geographic price differences using the same regional adjustment factors used in Maine’s school funding formula. The Return on Spendingindicates that for every $1,000 spent on each student, 3.05 percent of students at your school demonstrated overall proficiency on the academic standards assessed in the grade 11 MHSA.

Criterion R1: Average school return on spending is compared to the state return on spending.

Criterion R2: Average school return on spending is compared to what would be expected from your school, in terms of prior performance on statewide assessments and community characteristics.
