Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04276

Summary:

The 04276 zip code area is home to two schools - Mountain Valley High School and Rumford Elementary, both of which are part of the Regional School Unit 10 district. While Mountain Valley High School is the only high school in the area, both schools are struggling, with below-average test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population.

Mountain Valley High School has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, ranging from 21st out of 98 high schools in 2021-2022 to 81st out of 123 in 2022-2023. The school's test scores are below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.5%. Similarly, Rumford Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Maine elementary schools and has below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools, 70.62% at Mountain Valley High School and 72.03% at Rumford Elementary, suggests that the local community faces significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the schools' performance issues. The lack of middle schools and alternative schools in the 04276 zip code area may also be a concern, as it could limit the educational options available to students in the community.
