Summary

Eva Hoyt Zippel School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Presque Isle, Maine, with 275 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 79/Maine School Admin District 01, which is ranked 85 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Unfortunately, Eva Hoyt Zippel School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 130 out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 234 out of 289 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also declined from 2 stars to 1 star during this period. The school's performance on student group metrics is concerning, as it ranks in the bottom 20% of Maine elementary schools for several key demographics, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 32.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, Eva Hoyt Zippel School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA), is below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 56.2% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 63.84% statewide. When compared to other schools in the same district, such as Mapleton Elementary School, which ranks much higher (18 out of 289 Maine elementary schools) and has significantly better academic performance, Eva Hoyt Zippel School's struggles become even more apparent. The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.49% to 54.69% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
