Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04474

Summary:

The 04474 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Center Drive School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 361 students. This school is part of the Orrington Public Schools district, which is ranked 87 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Center Drive School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the state of Maine. The school outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and has an impressively low chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0%. Additionally, the school has a diverse student population, with 92.8% White, 2.49% African American, 1.66% Hispanic, and 1.94% Asian students. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 63rd out of 228 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 143rd out of 290 in 2022-2023, despite maintaining its academic performance.

One potential area of concern for Center Drive School is its relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 32.13%, which suggests that a significant portion of the student population may come from lower-income households. This could present unique challenges and needs for the school to address. Overall, Center Drive School appears to be a strong-performing elementary school, but the declining statewide ranking and potential socioeconomic challenges are areas that warrant further investigation and attention.
