Summary:
The 04426 zip code area is home to two schools - Se Do Mo Cha Elementary School and Se Do Mo Cha Middle School, both part of the Regional School Unit 68/Maine School Admin District 68. While the elementary school outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, the middle school lags behind, indicating a significant disparity in performance between the two schools.
The elementary school stands out with relatively high academic performance, with 65.38% of students proficient or better in ELA and 62.6% in Math. However, it also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 29.7% compared to the middle school's 25.4%. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with the middle school being slightly more diverse. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as nearly half of the students at both schools are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The district-level challenges, with Regional School Unit 68/Maine School Admin District 68 ranked 122 out of 177 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5, suggest that addressing the academic performance disparity, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors could be key priorities for the district and school administrators to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 04426 zip code area.
