Summary:

The 04220 zip code area has only one school, Buckfield Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. This public high school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 30th out of 82 Maine high schools in 2020-2021 to 112th out of 123 in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA), is below the regional and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Buckfield Junior-Senior High School faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.0% and a relatively high percentage of students (40.54%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the student population. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention to students.

Overall, the data suggests that Regional School Unit 10, which oversees Buckfield Junior-Senior High School, may need to focus on improving academic outcomes, addressing chronic absenteeism, and supporting the socioeconomic needs of the student population to help the school regain its competitive standing among Maine high schools.
