Summary:
Regional School Unit 71 in Maine is home to a single high school, Belfast Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance over the past few years, it currently ranks 56 out of 123 Maine high schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Belfast Area High School's graduation rate of 88.6% is respectable, but the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.3%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.89%), Mathematics (45.35%), and Science (37.89%) lag behind the district and state averages. Additionally, over 37% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Belfast Area High School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which may help support student learning. However, the school's inconsistent performance and areas for improvement suggest that further investigation and targeted interventions could be beneficial in helping the school better serve its students and the Regional School Unit 71 community.
