Summary:
Regional School Unit 37/Maine School Admin District 37 contains a single high school, Narraguagus High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, ranking 110 out of 123 Maine high schools for the 2022-2023 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Narraguagus High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the regional and state averages, with particularly low performance in Mathematics and Science.
The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.6% is below the state average, and it has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 62.6%. Narraguagus High School serves a predominantly white student population, with a relatively high percentage of Hispanic students compared to the state average. Additionally, a significant proportion of the student body (38.37%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While the school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, the consistent decline in its statewide ranking and the academic underperformance in core subjects suggest that Regional School Unit 37/Maine School Admin District 37 may need to focus on strengthening its academic programs, addressing chronic absenteeism, and providing additional support to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
