Maine School Admin District 27

Summary:

Maine School Admin District 27 is home to three schools: Fort Kent Elementary School, Fort Kent Community High School, and Valley Rivers Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Fort Kent area.

Among the three schools, Fort Kent Elementary School and Valley Rivers Middle School stand out as top performers. Fort Kent Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 84 elementary schools in Maine over the past 3 years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Valley Rivers Middle School has also been consistently ranked among the top 36 middle schools in Maine, with a 3-star rating, and outperforms the district and state averages in Science proficiency.

In contrast, Fort Kent Community High School lags behind the district and state averages in all three subject areas. Additionally, all three schools in the Maine School Admin District 27 have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of focus for the district. The data also suggests that the district may need to address socioeconomic challenges, as the schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.
