Summary:
Regional School Unit 42/Maine School Admin District 42 contains a single high school, Central Aroostook Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, though its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 46th and 53rd out of Maine's high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate is 87.8%, which is a positive indicator, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is relatively high and may be an area of concern.
Academically, Central Aroostook Junior-Senior High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are relatively close to the Regional School Unit 42/Maine School Admin District 42 and state averages, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are lower. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its Mathematics and Science instruction and support. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 33.13%, indicating a significant proportion of students from low-income families.
Overall, Central Aroostook Junior-Senior High School appears to be a relatively stable performer, maintaining a consistent 3-star rating, but it faces challenges in certain academic areas and with student engagement, as evidenced by its high chronic absenteeism rate. The school's demographic factors, such as the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, may also have implications for the school's resource needs and support services.
