Summary:
The 04239 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Regional School Unit 73 district. While Spruce Mountain High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a 5-star rating and higher proficiency in English Language Arts, the other schools in the area face challenges in academic achievement and student engagement.
Spruce Mountain Middle School has maintained a consistent 2-star rating, but its lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools suggests a more engaged student body. In contrast, Spruce Mountain Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Maine elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science than the district and state averages.
Across the schools, there are disparities in student outcomes, with the high school outperforming the middle and elementary schools. Addressing chronic absenteeism, particularly at the high school level, and implementing targeted interventions to support student success at all grade levels should be priorities for the district. By addressing these challenges, the schools in the 04239 zip code area can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all students.
