Summary:
Regional School Unit 80/Maine School Admin District 04 contains one elementary school, Piscataquis Community Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 267 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces some challenges, including below-average academic performance and a relatively high rate of economic disadvantage among its students.
Piscataquis Community Elementary currently ranks 195 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment scores, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 6.5%, which is slightly higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, the school does have some positive attributes, such as a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 11.7. However, the school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years suggests that it may be struggling to keep pace with other schools in the Regional School Unit 80/Maine School Admin District 04. The district and the school may need to consider strategies to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for their students.
