Summary:
The 04350 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Carrie Ricker School and Libby-Tozier School, both part of the Regional School Unit 04 district. While neither school stands out as a clear academic performer, the data reveals some concerning trends in the area's educational landscape.
Academically, Carrie Ricker School lags behind state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with only 50% and 45.81% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively. Meanwhile, Libby-Tozier School did not provide academic performance data, but its high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1% is a significant concern. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with over 93% of students identifying as white, compared to the state average.
Socioeconomic challenges also appear to be a factor, as both Carrie Ricker School and Libby-Tozier School have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, at 42.27% and 49.66%, respectively. The Regional School Unit 04 district, which oversees these schools, is ranked 166 out of 177 districts in Maine and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, further underscoring the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in this area.
