Elementary Schools in Regional School Unit 80/Maine School Admin District 04

Summary:

The Regional School Unit 80/Maine School Admin District 04 contains one elementary school, Piscataquis Community Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 265 students.

Piscataquis Community Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in the following two school years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all significantly lower than the state averages, indicating academic performance is a concern. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic achievement.

The school has a high percentage of students (61.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may impact the school's resources and ability to support student learning. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 suggests relatively small class sizes, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning, though it does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement.
