Best Public Schools in Readfield, ME

Summary:

The city of Readfield, Maine is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Maranacook Community High School, Maranacook Community Middle School, and Readfield Elementary School. These schools are part of the Regional School Unit 38 district.

Among the standout schools, Maranacook Community High School has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking and star rating, going from a high of 5 stars in 2018-2019 to 2 stars in 2021-2022 before rebounding to 3 stars in the latest school year. Meanwhile, Maranacook Community Middle School has maintained a strong 3-star rating, with a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1%. Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern, particularly at the high school level where the rate reaches 30.5%. However, the district's schools generally have low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.3 to 10.8, which could be a positive factor in providing personalized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that the Readfield area schools have both strengths and areas for improvement, and the district may want to further investigate the factors driving performance fluctuations and address the racial homogeneity and chronic absenteeism concerns.
