High Schools in Regional School Unit 89

Summary:

Regional School Unit 89 in Maine has only one high school, Katahdin Middle/High School, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 139 students. The school has seen a decline in its performance and ranking over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in 2024-2025 and falling from 61 out of 123 schools to 92 out of 119 schools in the state rankings.

Academically, Katahdin Middle/High School struggles, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average in Mathematics (25.68% vs. 49.38%) and Science (19.23% vs. 36.18%). The school's four-year graduation rate is 87.8%, and it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%. These academic challenges may be influenced by the school's high proportion of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 41.73% free and reduced-price lunch rate.

Despite its small size and low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, Katahdin Middle/High School's performance has not translated into strong academic outcomes for its students. The school's declining ranking and low proficiency rates in core subjects suggest that the Regional School Unit 89 may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve the educational experience and outcomes for students at this school.
