Regional School Unit 35/Maine School Admin District 35

Summary:

The Regional School Unit 35/Maine School Admin District 35 is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Marshwood High School is the district's top performer, ranking in the top 10 for Maine high schools. It boasts an impressive 87.8% four-year graduation rate and exceptional test scores, with 80.25% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 57.52% in Mathematics. At the elementary level, Eliot Elementary School and Central School also stand out, ranking 11th and 27th out of 288 Maine elementary schools, respectively, with strong test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

While the district's schools generally outperform state averages, there are some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% across all schools. Additionally, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 9.57% at Marshwood High School to 14.56% at Eliot Elementary School, suggest the district may have a relatively affluent student population, which could potentially lead to disparities in access to educational resources and opportunities.
