Summary:
Regional School Unit 04 in Maine is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is struggling academically, ranking 159 out of 176 districts in the state, there are some standout schools within the unit.
Oak Hill Middle School appears to be the highest performing school in the district, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that exceed both the district and state averages. In contrast, the overall Regional School Unit 04 district has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Carrie Ricker School, an elementary school, also performs relatively well, with proficiency rates above the district average in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
A concerning issue across all schools in the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 27.54% at Oak Hill High School to 44.19% at Sabattus Primary School, indicating many students come from low-income families. Addressing these socioeconomic challenges and improving attendance should be priorities for the district as it works to enhance overall student outcomes.
