Regional School Unit 44/Maine School Admin District 44

Summary:

Regional School Unit 44/Maine School Admin District 44 is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves students in the rural communities of western Maine.

Among the standout schools in the district, Woodstock School is a top-performing elementary school, consistently ranking among the best in the state. Its strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, Telstar Middle School and Telstar High School have lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science compared to the district and state.

While Telstar High School has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, Crescent Park School and Telstar High School have experienced a decline in their performance. Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively high free and reduced lunch rates at some schools suggest that the district may need to address socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student success.
