Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04222

Summary:

The 04222 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Durham Community School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Regional School Unit 05 district. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Maine, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Durham Community School's student population is predominantly white (95.49%), with a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (18.45%), suggesting a more affluent student body. The school also boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, which is lower than the state average. These factors likely contribute to the school's strong academic performance and low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7%.

While Durham Community School is an exceptional educational institution, there may be room for improvement in certain areas, such as increasing the proficiency rates in Science and reducing the chronic absenteeism rate further. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity could be an area for further investigation and potential improvement to ensure a more inclusive learning environment for all students.
