Summary:
The 04419 zip code area is home to two schools - Caravel Middle School and Carmel Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly White student population, they exhibit distinct academic performance patterns and socioeconomic differences.
Caravel Middle School ranks 55 out of 96 Maine middle schools and has a 2-star rating, performing slightly below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6% and serves a student population with a significant proportion (40.89%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Carmel Elementary School ranks 182 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, outperforming the district and state in Mathematics but underperforming in English Language Arts. The elementary school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% and a lower proportion (29.17%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The disparity in academic performance and socioeconomic differences between the two schools within the same zip code area suggests potential equity considerations and the need for further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to these disparities. Additionally, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools warrant attention and targeted interventions to address this issue and improve educational outcomes for students in the 04419 zip code area.
