Summary:
Regional School Unit 51/Maine School Admin District 51 is home to a single high school, Greely High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 4 high schools in the state of Maine. This exceptional institution serves a relatively large student population of 599 and is known for its academic excellence, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Greely High School's standout performance is evident in its statewide ranking of 2 out of 123 high schools, placing it in the top 2% in Maine. The school has also maintained a 5-star rating from School Digger, indicating it is one of the highest-performing schools in the state. Additionally, Greely High School boasts a very high four-year graduation rate of 96.1%, well above the state and national averages.
While Greely High School's academic achievements are impressive, the school's student population is predominantly White (91.99%) and comes from relatively affluent backgrounds, with only 2.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic and socioeconomic homogeneity may be an area for the school to explore in terms of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7%, slightly higher than the state's target of 15%, is an area that could be addressed to ensure all students are fully engaged and benefiting from the school's educational opportunities.
