While the schools do not stand out as clear academic leaders, the data provides insights into their performance and the challenges they face.

Academically, the elementary school has seen fluctuating performance, dropping from a high state ranking of 55 out of 210 schools in 2021-2022 to 101 out of 290 schools in the current year. In contrast, the middle school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both schools also face high chronic absenteeism rates, with the elementary school at 29.7% and the middle school at 25.4%, which could impact student learning and achievement.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as the schools serve a population with significant challenges. Nearly half of the students at both the elementary (49.87%) and middle (44.75%) schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the presence of substantial economic hardship in the community. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for the students in Dover Foxcroft.
