Elementary Schools in Regional School Unit 89

Summary:

Regional School Unit 89 in Maine has only one elementary school, Katahdin Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 139 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, indicating smaller class sizes, it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.

Katahdin Elementary School is ranked 235 out of 289 Maine elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is below the state average, with 60.71% of students proficient or better in ELA and 34.48% proficient or better in Math. However, the school has shown some improvement in recent years, with ELA proficiency rates increasing from 42.59% in 2023-2024 to 60.71% in 2024-2025.

Another area of concern for Katahdin Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is relatively high compared to state and national averages. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 64.75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite these challenges, the school's small class sizes may be a strength that could be leveraged to support student learning and achievement.
