Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04750

Summary:

The 04750 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. The standout school in this set is the ME School of Science & Mathematics, a high-performing 5-star high school that consistently ranks among the top in Maine. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Limestone Community School and Dawn F Barnes Elementary School, appear to be struggling, with low academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and serving economically disadvantaged communities.

The ME School of Science & Mathematics boasts a 100% 4-year graduation rate, low chronic absenteeism, and a very low percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, suggesting it serves a more affluent student population. The school also has a strong student-teacher ratio of 7.2, indicating smaller class sizes. In comparison, Limestone Community School and Dawn F Barnes Elementary have concerning performance indicators, ranking in the bottom half and bottom 10% of Maine elementary schools, respectively. Both schools have extremely high chronic absenteeism rates and alarmingly high free/reduced lunch eligibility, with Dawn F Barnes Elementary serving a community where nearly all students (97.7%) qualify.

The stark contrast in performance between the high-performing ME School of Science & Mathematics and the struggling elementary schools highlights the need to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools, particularly around attendance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation. Consolidation of the smaller Dawn F Barnes Elementary with a larger school district may also be worth considering to provide a more comprehensive educational experience for students.
