Best Public Schools in Hiram, ME

Summary:

The city of Hiram, Maine is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Sacopee Valley Middle School, Sacopee Valley Elementary School, and Sacopee Valley High School. These schools are part of the Regional School Unit 55/Maine School Admin District 55.

Among the three schools, Sacopee Valley High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 48th out of 123 Maine high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school has seen an improvement in its state-wide ranking over the past year and boasts a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.9%. In contrast, both Sacopee Valley Middle School and Sacopee Valley Elementary School have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of their respective state-wide rankings and earning only 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

A concerning trend across all three schools is the alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 20.7% at the middle school to 36.3% at the high school, significantly exceeding the state average. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with minority representation ranging from 5.21% to 7.56%, and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the overall performance and attendance challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and a deeper understanding of the factors influencing student outcomes in this district.
