Summary:

The Regional School Unit 61/Maine School Admin District 61 consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the local area. While the district faces some challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, there are also some standout schools that are performing well and showing signs of improvement.

Crooked River Elementary is a top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Maine elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also above the district and state averages. In contrast, Lake Region Middle School has a lower ranking compared to other middle schools in the state, but has shown improvement over the past few years, with its English Language Arts proficiency rates higher than the district and state averages.

The district's graduation rates, such as the 87.8% four-year graduation rate at Lake Region High School, are a positive metric. However, the district's overall test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, and the schools have relatively high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The district's focus on addressing these challenges and building on the strengths of its standout schools will be crucial in improving educational outcomes for all students in the area.
