Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04743

Summary:

The 04743 zip code area in Maine is home to three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Maine School Administrative District 27. While the schools demonstrate varying levels of academic performance, with Fort Kent Elementary School and Fort Kent Community High School outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, attendance challenges are a concern across all three institutions.

The standout schools in the area include Fort Kent Elementary School, which is ranked 84 out of 290 Maine elementary schools and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, and Valley Rivers Middle School, which is ranked 33 out of 96 Maine middle schools and boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio. However, science proficiency on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) tests was lower than the district and state averages for all three schools.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Fort Kent Elementary School having the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 29.25%, compared to 16.27% at Fort Kent Community High School and 20.79% at Valley Rivers Middle School. Despite these challenges, the 100% four-year graduation rate at Fort Kent Community High School is a positive indicator of the school's effectiveness in supporting students to complete their high school education.
