Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04421

Summary:

The 04421 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Adams School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 53 students. Despite its small size, Adams School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Maine, with impressive academic performance that exceeds state averages. The school is part of the highly-ranked Castine Public Schools district, which is ranked 5th out of 177 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adams School's academic excellence is evident in its consistent high rankings, with the school placing 9th out of 290 elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and 15th out of 209 schools in 2008-2009. The school's students also perform exceptionally well on state assessments, with 73.53% proficient or better in Mathematics and 58.33% proficient or better in Science, significantly higher than the state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0% is a concern that may warrant further investigation.

While Adams School serves a predominantly White student population (96.23%), which differs from the state's more diverse demographics, the school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (5.66%) suggests that it serves a relatively affluent community. This raises potential equity concerns and highlights the need to ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to the high-quality education that Adams School provides.
