Summary:
The city of Fort Kent, Maine is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Fort Kent Elementary School, Fort Kent Community High School, and Valley Rivers Middle School. These schools, part of Maine School Admin District 27, demonstrate a mix of high-performing and potentially concerning elements.
Fort Kent Elementary School stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, the school provides more personalized attention for its students. In contrast, Fort Kent Community High School has achieved an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, placing it in the top half of Maine high schools, while Valley Rivers Middle School boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9, potentially contributing to more individualized learning opportunities.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern. Fort Kent Community High School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 32.5%, significantly higher than the other two schools. Additionally, the racial demographics of the schools suggest potential segregation or uneven distribution of diversity, with Fort Kent Elementary School having a more diverse student population compared to the other two schools. These findings warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes and ensure equitable educational experiences for all students in the Fort Kent community.
