Summary:
The 04271 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school - all part of the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools consistently underperform compared to state averages across key metrics.
None of the schools in the 04271 area stand out as high-performing. Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, Oxford Hills Middle School, and Paris Elementary School all rank in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in the state. Alarmingly, the high school and middle school have particularly low math proficiency rates, with only 37.75% and 23.45% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 48.68%.
Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with over 36% of students at the high school and middle school chronically absent. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility (over 40% at all three schools). The lack of diversity, with student populations that are overwhelmingly white, may also limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Overall, the data suggests that substantial interventions and improvements are needed to support student success in this district.
