Summary:
The 04769 zip code area is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Regional School Unit 79/Maine School Administrative District 01. While the schools share a common district, they exhibit varying levels of academic performance and student demographics, with Presque Isle Middle School standing out as a top-performing institution in the region.
Presque Isle Middle School ranks 23rd out of 96 Maine middle schools and boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 69.01% and 49.56% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively. In contrast, Presque Isle High School, while still performing well, has lower proficiency rates in Science at 37.11%.
The schools in the 04769 zip code area serve a predominantly white student population, with minority students making up 12.82% to 14.29% of the student body. However, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch varies significantly, from 29.91% at Presque Isle High School to 56.7% at Pine Street Elementary School, indicating potential socioeconomic disparities within the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level, are a concern that may require further investigation and intervention.
