Summary:
The Regional School Unit 74/Maine School Admin District 74 contains only one high school, Carrabec High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school's enrollment of 191 students is relatively small, its performance metrics and rankings suggest it is not among the top-performing high schools in Maine.
Carrabec High School has seen its state ranking fluctuate in recent years, dropping from 59 out of 82 Maine high schools in 2020-2021 to 52 out of 121 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in core academic subjects, particularly Mathematics, are significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, Carrabec High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is notably higher than the state average and may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
Socioeconomic factors also appear to be a concern, as over 56% of Carrabec High School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.5 is slightly lower than the state average, the combination of academic underperformance, attendance issues, and socioeconomic challenges suggests that Carrabec High School may require targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for its students.
