Summary:
The East Millinocket Public Schools district in Maine consists of two schools: Opal Myrick Elementary School and Schenck High School. While Opal Myrick Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top half of Maine elementary schools, Schenck High School has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Maine high schools.
Opal Myrick Elementary School's performance on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) in English Language Arts is above the district and state averages, with 64.44% of students proficient or better. However, the school's performance in Mathematics is below the district and state averages, with only 66.67% of students proficient or better. In contrast, Schenck High School's performance on the MEA in both English Language Arts and Mathematics is significantly below the district and state averages, with only 47.83% and 34.78% of students proficient or better, respectively.
Despite the academic challenges, Schenck High School maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 87.8%. Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and high chronic absenteeism rates reaching 23.4%. These factors may be contributing to the academic performance issues within the district, and addressing them could lead to improved educational outcomes for the students in the East Millinocket Public Schools district.
