Summary:
The 04416 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The standout performer in this area is Bucksport High School, which ranks 28th out of 123 Maine high schools and maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.8%. The school also outperforms the Regional School Unit 25 district and the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.
While the elementary schools, Miles Lane School and G. Herbert Jewett School, also show promising performance, with Miles Lane School outpacing the district and state in Mathematics, Bucksport Middle School lags behind in Mathematics and Science proficiency. This disparity in middle school performance suggests a need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at that level.
The schools in the 04416 zip code have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity. Additionally, there is significant variation in the free/reduced lunch rates, indicating pockets of economic disadvantage within the area. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Bucksport High School is also a concern that warrants further investigation and targeted strategies to address student engagement and attendance.
