Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04730

Summary:

The 04730 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, which are part of two different school districts - Regional School Unit 29/Maine School Admin District 29 and Regional School Unit 70/Maine School Admin District 70. While the schools in this area face some challenges, a few standout institutions, such as Mill Pond School and Hodgdon Middle/High School, are performing exceptionally well.

Mill Pond School, an elementary school in the Regional School Unit 70/Maine School Admin District 70, has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts high proficiency rates in English Language Arts (70.55%) and Mathematics (73.01%), well above the state averages, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. Similarly, Hodgdon Middle/High School, also part of the Regional School Unit 70/Maine School Admin District 70, has ranked among the top high schools in the state, with a 4-star rating in the past, and has a strong performance in Mathematics proficiency (43.14%) compared to the state average.

However, the data also reveals a significant disparity in school performance within the 04730 zip code area. While the top-performing schools are excelling, others, such as Houlton High School and Houlton Junior High School, which are part of the Regional School Unit 29/Maine School Admin District 29, are struggling, with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools also suggest that the area may face socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key focus area for improvement.
