High Schools in Cape Elizabeth Public Schools

Cape Elizabeth Public Schools is home to a single high school, Cape Elizabeth High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 3 high schools in the state of Maine over the past three school years. This top-performing school serves students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Cape Elizabeth Public Schools district.

Cape Elizabeth High School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 84.17% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 69.11% in Mathematics, and 64.81% in Science - significantly higher than the state averages. The school also boasts a strong four-year graduation rate of 87.8% and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is slightly higher than the state's average, an area that the school may want to address.

While the data indicates that Cape Elizabeth High School is a top-performing institution, it also suggests that the school may have a relatively homogeneous student population in terms of socioeconomic status, with only 5.46% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school may want to consider ways to ensure equitable access and support for all students, regardless of their background, to maintain its high level of academic achievement.
