Summary:
The 04411 zip code area has only one school, Viola Rand School, which is an elementary school serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 74 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 34 district, which is ranked 134 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Viola Rand School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 115 out of 261 Maine elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 266 out of 290 in 2022-2023. The school's rating has also decreased from 3-stars to 0-stars during this time. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.0% and academic performance in English Language Arts that is lower than both the district and state averages.
Despite these challenges, Viola Rand School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, which may suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, the school also has a high percentage of students (44.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic performance could be crucial for the school's future success.
