Summary:
The city of Presque Isle, Maine is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Regional School Unit 79/Maine School Admin District 01. The standout school in the district is Presque Isle Middle School, which has consistently ranked among the top 25-26 middle schools in the state over the past 3 years and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the elementary schools do not have state rankings available, Pine Street Elementary School stands out with the highest student-teacher ratio of 17.7 among the 3 elementary schools, potentially indicating larger class sizes and resource constraints. Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, ranging from 25.4% at Eva Hoyt Zippel School to 38.2% at Presque Isle High School, which may be an area of concern for the district to address.
The schools in Presque Isle also show significant socioeconomic disparities, with free and reduced lunch rates varying from 29.91% at the high school to 56.7% at Pine Street Elementary. This suggests the district may need to examine resource allocation and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
