Best Public Schools in Farmingdale, ME

Summary:

Farmingdale, Maine is home to a single public school, Hall-Dale Middle and High School, which serves grades 5-12. This school stands out as the sole educational institution in the city, providing a crucial educational resource for the community. With a student enrollment of 522, Hall-Dale Middle and High School has a predominantly white student population (92.91%), with small percentages of other racial groups.

The school has a strong state-wide ranking, consistently placing in the top third of Maine high schools over the past three years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests the school is providing a quality education to its students. However, the school's high student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is the highest among the 3 high schools in the Regional School Unit 02 District, which could potentially impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.

While the school boasts a solid 90.1% four-year graduation rate, its chronic absenteeism rate of 33.0% is relatively high, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rate of 30.84% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could have implications for the school's resource allocation and support services.
