Summary:

The district as a whole ranks 137 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating overall lower performance compared to other districts in the state.
Moscow Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the MEA assessments, as well as a higher 2-star SchoolDigger rating compared to the 1-star rating for Upper Kennebec Valley Middle/Senior High School.

The small enrollment numbers, particularly at the elementary school, may present challenges in terms of staffing, resources, and programming. Addressing the chronic absenteeism, improving academic performance at the secondary level, and leveraging the strengths of the elementary school could be key priorities for Regional School Unit 83/Maine School Admin District 13 moving forward.
