Summary:
The Scarborough Public Schools district in Maine consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Among the standout schools in the district, Scarborough High School is ranked 4th out of 123 Maine high schools, with exceptional test scores, a high graduation rate, and a low free/reduced lunch rate. Similarly, Wentworth School, an elementary school, is ranked 12th out of 289 Maine elementary schools and boasts exceptional test scores and a low free/reduced lunch rate. The district as a whole is ranked 11th out of 176 districts in Maine and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
However, the district faces a challenge with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 23.4% to 23.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The district's leadership and collaborative efforts appear to be contributing to the overall academic success of the system, as evidenced by the high performance of its schools, but addressing the chronic absenteeism issue may be an area of focus for the district moving forward.
