Camden Hills Regional High School

Summary:

Camden Hills Regional High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Rockport, Maine, part of the highly-ranked Regional School Unit 71. With 719 students, the school consistently outperforms its peers, ranking 5th out of 123 high schools in Maine and boasting exceptional academic performance, high graduation rates, and a low student-teacher ratio.

Camden Hills Regional High School's students significantly outperform the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates well above nearby schools like Belfast Area High School, Medomak Valley High School, and Oceanside High School. The school also maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94% to 95.8% over the past three years, significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools.

However, Camden Hills Regional High School faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 17.4% in 2020-2021 to 34.7% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher socioeconomic status compared to nearby schools, and a predominantly White student population, which may limit the diversity of the learning environment. As the school continues to excel academically, addressing these areas of concern will be crucial to providing a well-rounded educational experience for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
