Summary:
The city of Windham, Maine is home to a single public high school, Windham High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it currently ranks 89 out of 121 Maine high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is an average-performing school in the state.
Windham High School's performance metrics show some areas of concern. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.8% is slightly below the state average, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 57.44% compared to the state average of 63.84%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which could be negatively impacting student learning and achievement.
On a positive note, Windham High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, which could be a beneficial factor for students. However, the school's performance appears to be declining over time, as evidenced by its drop in statewide ranking from 40 out of 123 schools in 2022-2023 to 89 out of 121 schools in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. The school should focus on addressing these issues to improve student outcomes and better serve the Windham community, which is part of the Regional School Unit 14 district.
