Regional School Unit 10

Summary:

Regional School Unit 10 in Maine is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, but there is significant variation in the academic achievement of individual schools within the district.

The standout schools in the district are Hartford-Sumner Elementary School, which has the highest performance on state assessments with 65.31% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 48.3% in Mathematics, and Buckfield Junior-Senior High School, which has the highest performance among the high schools with 58.51% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41.49% in Mathematics. Both schools also have the highest SchoolDigger ratings in their respective categories.

Other key findings include district-wide challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and significant socioeconomic disparities, with schools like Rumford Elementary and Mountain Valley Middle School serving a high percentage of students from low-income families. These factors may contribute to the lower academic performance observed in some schools within the Regional School Unit 10 district.
