Summary:
The 04927 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Clinton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with 253 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it also has notable Hispanic and Native American representation. However, Clinton Elementary School faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate and a significant portion of its student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Clinton Elementary School's academic performance has been on a concerning downward trend, with its statewide ranking dropping from 107 out of 258 Maine elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 193 out of 290 in 2022-2023. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the same period, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
Despite the challenges faced by Clinton Elementary School, the school does have a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which suggests a potentially positive learning environment. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the elevated chronic absenteeism rate, highlight the need for the school and the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49 to address the unique needs and barriers faced by the school's student population.
