Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04351

Summary:

The 04351 zip code in Maine is home to a single public elementary school, Manchester Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 186 students. While the school outperforms regional and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it lags behind in Science proficiency. Manchester Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which can benefit students, but it also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%.

Despite its strong academic performance, Manchester Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 26th out of 228 schools in 2020-2021 to 116th out of 290 schools in 2022-2023. This could be due to changes in the overall performance of other schools in the state or shifts in the school's own performance over time. The school's student population is also predominantly White, with very low percentages of racial and ethnic diversity, which may be reflective of the broader demographics of the Manchester, ME community.

Overall, Regional School Unit 38, the district that oversees Manchester Elementary School, appears to have a relatively strong-performing school, with some areas for potential improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and enhancing science education. The school's declining statewide ranking despite maintaining academic performance is an interesting trend that warrants further investigation.
