Summary

Oceanside High School is a public high school in Rockland, Maine, serving 511 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 13 district, which is ranked 58 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oceanside High School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are lower than the district and state, its science proficiency rate is higher. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated over the years, ranging from 79.2% to 87.8%, which is generally in line with the state average but lower than the nearby Camden Hills Regional High School. Oceanside High School has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, significantly higher than the nearby Medomak Valley High School.

Oceanside High School's performance for its special education students is strong, ranking 4th out of 57 Maine high schools. However, the school's performance for male students and low socioeconomic status students has been relatively lower, ranking 55th and 41st out of 108 Maine high schools, respectively. Addressing these disparities and the high chronic absenteeism rates could be key focus areas for the school and the Regional School Unit 13 district to improve overall educational outcomes and provide a more equitable learning environment for all students.
