Summary:
The Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17 contains a single high school, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, which serves 1,077 students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen a decline in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 28th out of 82 high schools in 2020-2021 to 92nd out of 123 high schools in 2022-2023.
Academically, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School's students perform slightly above the district average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, but fall short of the state averages in all three subjects. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.1%, which may be contributing to its lower graduation rate of 85.5%, slightly below the state average. Additionally, with 42.53% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population with higher economic needs, which can impact educational outcomes.
While Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School is the only high school in the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17, the data analysis reveals areas for improvement, such as addressing the declining statewide ranking, academic performance gaps, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the school's overall performance. Targeted interventions and a focus on these key areas could help the school enhance its educational outcomes and better serve the needs of its students.
