Best Public Schools in Hermon, ME

Summary:

The city of Hermon, Maine is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Hermon High School, Patricia A Duran School (an elementary school), and Hermon Middle School. These schools are part of the Hermon Public Schools district.

Among the three schools, the Patricia A Duran School stands out as a consistent top performer, ranking among the top 50% of Maine elementary schools for the past three years. The school's strong academic performance, with over 70% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeds the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 may contribute to its success. In contrast, Hermon High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, though it maintains a commendable 4-year graduation rate of 87.8%, outpacing the state average.

While the schools in Hermon generally perform well, there are some areas of concern. All three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Hermon Middle School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 26.14%, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that may require further investigation to ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
