Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04937

Summary:

The 04937 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Regional School Unit 49/Maine School Admin District 49. While the schools share some positive attributes, such as Lawrence High School's high graduation rate and the lower student-teacher ratios at the elementary and middle school levels, the academic performance across the schools lags behind state averages.

Notably, Fairfield Primary School stands out with the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a higher concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across all three schools, ranging from 35.0% to 39.0%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic proficiency rates compared to state standards.

While the schools in the 04937 zip code area have some positive attributes, the data suggests they face challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and student demographics that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address. Improving these areas could help ensure all students in the community have access to a high-quality education.
