High Schools in Regional School Unit 73

Summary:

Regional School Unit 73 in Maine contains only one high school, Spruce Mountain High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Spruce Mountain High School appears to be a low-performing school compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 108 out of 121 Maine high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.93%), Mathematics (46.09%), and Science (21.25%) all falling below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, significantly higher than the state average. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students (54.33%) receiving 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 12.3 is slightly lower than the state average, the overall data suggests that Regional School Unit 73 and Spruce Mountain High School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of their students and improve academic outcomes.
