Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04658

Summary:

The 04658 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Milbridge Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 132 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with 28.79% Hispanic and 5.3% two or more races, its academic performance lags behind the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, despite being higher than the district average.

Milbridge Elementary School's ranking has declined significantly over the past few years, dropping from 73rd out of 258 Maine elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 167th out of 290 in 2022-2023. This decline in performance is accompanied by a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8%, which could be a contributing factor. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.09%).

Despite these challenges, Milbridge Elementary School has the potential to improve its academic outcomes and overall school ranking. By addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, implementing targeted interventions to support its diverse student population, and leveraging its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, the school could work towards aligning its performance more closely with the state average and providing a high-quality education for all its students.
