East Millinocket Public Schools

The East Millinocket Public Schools district consists of two schools: Opal Myrick Elementary School and Schenck High School. While the elementary school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a declining state-wide ranking, the high school has shown improvement in its performance, moving up in the state-wide rankings.

Opal Myrick Elementary School stands out for its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is significantly above the state average, and its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 56.34%, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Additionally, the school's state-wide ranking has dropped from 90th out of 258 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 134th out of 290 in 2022-2023, suggesting a decline in performance.

In contrast, Schenck High School has shown improvement, with its state-wide ranking moving from 105th out of 114 high schools in 2018-2019 to 67th out of 123 in 2022-2023. However, the school still faces challenges, including a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 77.7% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5%, which, while lower than the elementary school, is still high.
