Summary:

Regional School Unit 39 in Maine is home to two schools: Caribou Community School, an elementary school, and Caribou High School. While the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, neither school stands out as a clear academic performer.

Both Caribou Community School and Caribou High School have consistently underperformed compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. Caribou Community School's proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science are below the state averages, with the largest gap in Math. Similarly, Caribou High School's proficiency rates are also below the state averages, with the largest gap again in Math. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4%, significantly above the state average.

The data suggests that Regional School Unit 39 may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the schools and their students. Improving test scores, reducing chronic absenteeism, and supporting the high-poverty student population could be key priorities for the district moving forward.
