Summary:

The Regional School Unit 41/Maine School Admin District 41 consists of 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Milo Elementary School and Brownville Elementary School) and 1 middle/high school (Penquis Valley Middle/High School). The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.08% to 80.95%.

Among the standout schools, Brownville Elementary School stands out with a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8% and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Penquis Valley Middle/High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.3% and consistently ranks in the bottom tier of Maine high schools, with a 0-star rating. The racial makeup of the schools is also noteworthy, with all three schools having a predominantly white student population, ranging from 91.94% to 97.62%.

The data highlights the disparities in school performance within the district, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the middle/high school. This suggests that there may be significant differences in the quality of education and resources available across the different school levels. Addressing the challenges of chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic factors, and equity and inclusion will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and opportunities for the students in this district.
