Best Public Schools in Zip Code 03903

Summary:

The 03903 zip code area is home to two high-performing schools, Marshwood Middle School and Eliot Elementary School, both of which have earned strong rankings and ratings within the state of Maine. These schools serve students from the surrounding communities, which appear to be relatively affluent based on the low rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.

Marshwood Middle School is ranked 16th out of 96 middle schools in Maine and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, indicating a high level of academic achievement. Similarly, Eliot Elementary School is ranked 27th out of 290 elementary schools in Maine and has a 5-star rating, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

While the schools in the 03903 zip code area demonstrate strong academic performance, they also face some challenges. Both Marshwood Middle School and Eliot Elementary School have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area of concern for the Regional School Unit 35/Maine School Admin District 35. Additionally, the student populations at these schools are predominantly White, with limited racial and ethnic diversity, which may reflect the broader demographics of the surrounding community.
