Summary:
Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Admin District 54 contains a single high school, Skowhegan Area High School, serving grades 9-12. The school's performance metrics, such as test scores and graduation rates, are generally below the regional and state averages, and the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families.
Skowhegan Area High School does not appear to be a standout school in the region or the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the regional and state averages, and its four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than the state average.
Over the past few years, Skowhegan Area High School's performance and rankings have declined, with the school dropping from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This trend is concerning and may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed, such as declining academic achievement or increased chronic absenteeism. The high percentage of students from low-income families at the school may also contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes.
