Summary:
Regional School Unit 74/Maine School Admin District 74 contains a single public high school, Carrabec High School, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 191 students. The school's performance and rankings have fluctuated in recent years, with a current statewide ranking of 52 out of 121 schools in 2023-2024, down from 88 out of 123 schools in the previous two years.
Carrabec High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is generally lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 62.22%, compared to the district's 64.48% and the state's 65.43%. In Mathematics, Carrabec High School's proficiency rate was 31.11%, while the district and state averaged 44.83% and 47.21%, respectively. The school's Science proficiency rate of 52.63% in 2023-2024 was higher than the district's 31.3% and the state's 33.98%.
Another area of concern for Carrabec High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students (56.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These socioeconomic factors may be impacting the school's overall performance and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
