Summary:
The 04260 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Burchard A Dunn School and Memorial School, both part of the Regional School Unit 15/Maine School Admin District 15. Based on the available data, Burchard A Dunn School stands out as the higher-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the top 53-101 elementary schools in Maine over the past 3 years with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Burchard A Dunn School's students outperform the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 77.19% and 61.36% proficiency rates respectively. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9% compared to Memorial School's 20.4%. While both schools have relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student population, Burchard A Dunn School has a slightly more diverse student body with 91.33% White, 2.02% African American, 2.31% Hispanic, 0.29% Native American, and 4.05% two or more races.
The student-teacher ratios for both schools are relatively low, with Burchard A Dunn School at 13.8 and Memorial School at 10.2, which could contribute to the schools' academic success. However, the lack of data for Memorial School's statewide ranking and academic performance makes it difficult to draw a complete comparison between the two schools. Additional data would be needed to fully evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of each school in the 04260 zip code area.
