While Dr Levesque Elementary consistently performs well, ranking in the top 25-35% of Maine elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating, Wisdom Middle High School has struggled, ranking in the bottom 20% of Maine high schools and receiving a low 1-star rating.
Dr Levesque Elementary School stands out with its small student-teacher ratio of 11.3, suggesting more individualized attention.

In contrast, Wisdom Middle High School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 32.0% and a more diverse student body, with 96% white, 4% Hispanic, and no other reported racial groups. However, Wisdom Middle High School has achieved an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, indicating that the school is effectively supporting its students to complete their high school education.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as Dr Levesque Elementary School has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (34.33%) compared to Wisdom Middle High School (28%), suggesting that the elementary school may serve a more economically disadvantaged population. This could be a contributing factor to the differences in school performance and the challenges faced by each institution.
