Summary:
Regional School Unit 67 in Maine is home to a single high school, Mattanawcook Academy, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Mattanawcook Academy's ranking among Maine high schools has declined in recent years, dropping from 42nd out of 82 in 2020-2021 to 115th out of 123 in 2022-2023.
One area of concern at Mattanawcook Academy is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.0%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. The school also serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 38.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the academic challenges observed at the school.
Despite these challenges, Mattanawcook Academy has a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is relatively low compared to other high schools. However, the school's overall performance and declining rankings suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the academic and attendance issues and improve student outcomes at Mattanawcook Academy within Regional School Unit 67.
