Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04408

Summary:

The 04408 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Airline Community School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of just 36 students. The school is part of the Airline Central School District, which is ranked 173 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Airline Community School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools, with a ranking of 278 out of 290 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance is below the state average in both English Language Arts (53.33% proficient or better) and Mathematics (26.67% proficient or better), and it has a high percentage of students (61.11%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. However, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 6.7, suggesting a relatively small class size and potentially more individualized attention for students.

The school's student population is overwhelmingly White (97.22%), with a small percentage of Hispanic students (2.78%) and no representation from other racial/ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may indicate a need for more exposure to different cultures and perspectives for the students. Additionally, the school's ranking has dropped significantly over the years, from 84 out of 195 Maine elementary schools in 2007-2008 to 278 out of 290 in 2022-2023, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance that may require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students.
