Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04347

Summary:

The 04347 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Hall-Dale Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 277 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it also has a diverse student body with representation from various racial backgrounds. Academically, Hall-Dale Elementary School performs slightly below the Regional School Unit 02 and statewide averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, but excels in Mathematics, with a proficiency rate significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.9% and a notable level of economic disadvantage, with 33.21% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's overall performance and ranking. In the 2022-2023 school year, Hall-Dale Elementary School ranked 161 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and was rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a decline from the previous year's ranking of 84 out of 210 and a 3-star rating.

Despite these challenges, Regional School Unit 02 and the community may find opportunities to build on the school's strengths, particularly in mathematics instruction, and address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, to improve the overall performance and educational experience for the students at Hall-Dale Elementary School.
