Regional School Unit 71


Summary:

The Regional School Unit 71 in Maine consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district shows a wide range of school performance, with Ames Elementary School ranking among the top 34 elementary schools in the state, while Kermit S Nickerson School struggles with high chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch rates.

Ames Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 34th out of 290 Maine elementary schools and earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Kermit S Nickerson School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 48.1% and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 65%, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance.

The district as a whole has a predominantly white student population, with minority representation ranging from 2.7% to 11.69%. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to address. Additionally, the district should focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, which is a concern across multiple schools, as it can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.
