Summary:
The 04087 zip code is home to a single public high school, Massabesic High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 910 students. While the school has a high four-year graduation rate of 90.5%, its academic performance on state assessments lags behind both the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, Massabesic High School faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.5% and a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 95% of students identifying as White.
Compared to the Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Admin District 57, Massabesic High School's proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) are significantly lower, with just 51.76% of students proficient in ELA, 33.54% in Math, and 31.79% in Science, versus the district's averages of 64.13%, 49.45%, and 30.3%, respectively. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instruction, and support for student learning to better prepare its students for academic success.
While Massabesic High School's student-teacher ratio of 15.6 to 1 is within a reasonable range, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and low academic performance compared to the district and state averages indicate that there may be opportunities for the school and district to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for the students in the 04087 zip code.
