Summary:
Regional School Unit 04 in Maine has only one middle school, Oak Hill Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance lags behind both the state and district averages across key metrics, including academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status.
Academically, Oak Hill Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (55.05%), Mathematics (31.65%), and Science (25.73%) fall significantly below the state averages of 64.63%, 48.68%, and 36.36%, respectively. The school also performs below the Regional School Unit 04 district averages in all three subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.6%, which is much higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as 45.38% of Oak Hill Middle School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Despite having a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 13.3 compared to the state average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine middle schools, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years. These challenges suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes and address the underlying factors contributing to its underperformance.
