Summary:
The city of North Anson, Maine is home to two schools: Carrabec Community School, an elementary school, and Carrabec High School. Both schools are part of the Regional School Unit 74/Maine School Admin District 74. While the schools share some similarities, they also have distinct differences in their performance and demographics.
Carrabec Community School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 203 out of 288 schools in 2023-2024 to 259 out of 290 schools in 2022-2023. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and its test scores are generally below the regional and state averages. In contrast, Carrabec High School has a statewide ranking that ranges from 52 to 88 out of Maine's high schools, and its four-year graduation rate is 87.8%.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and underperformance on standardized tests. However, the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 67.3%, compared to 56.54% at the high school. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio is lower at the elementary school (10.8) than at the high school (11.5). These differences suggest that the schools may require tailored approaches to address their unique needs and support their students effectively.
