Elementary Schools in East Millinocket Public Schools

Summary:

The East Millinocket Public Schools district in Maine has only one elementary school, Opal Myrick Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, despite fluctuations in its ranking among Maine elementary schools.

Opal Myrick Elementary School has shown some strengths, with students performing above the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's ELA performance declined from the previous year, even as the district's ELA performance improved. In contrast, the school's Mathematics performance improved during the same period. The school also faces challenges, with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a significant proportion of students (56.64%) from low-income families eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, Opal Myrick Elementary School appears to be a relatively stable, mid-performing school within the East Millinocket Public Schools district. The school's strengths in Mathematics and its consistent 3-star rating are positive indicators, but the decline in ELA performance and the high chronic absenteeism rate suggest areas for improvement. The school's socioeconomic context should be considered when evaluating its performance and developing strategies to support student learning and well-being.
