Summary:
Regional School Unit 09 in Maine is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in the district is Academy Hill School, an elementary school with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (70%) and Mathematics (51.54%) compared to the other schools and the state average. Another high-performing school is Mt Blue Middle School, which has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (67.2%) in the district.
However, the district faces some challenges, including a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% across all schools, and disparities in academic performance, with some schools, like Mt Blue High School, lagging behind the district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. These differences may be influenced by factors such as socioeconomic diversity, as indicated by the wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, and variations in school size and resources, as reflected in the student-teacher ratios.
