Summary

Cape Cod Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Sharon, Maine, serving 170 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 09 district, which is ranked 90 out of 176 districts in the state.

Cape Cod Hill Elementary has shown strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics consistently above the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 64.29%, compared to 63.38% for the district and 63.84% for the state. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 65.48%, compared to 47% for the district and 49.38% for the state. However, the school's performance in Science has been more mixed, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages. The school has also performed particularly well for certain student subgroups, ranking 66th out of 251 Maine elementary schools for male students and 63rd out of 248 schools for students of low socioeconomic status.

Despite the school's academic strengths, there are some areas of concern. Cape Cod Hill Elementary has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.8% in 2021-2022 to 23.4% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.34% to 57.65% over the past few years. Nearby schools, such as Spruce Mountain Primary School and Fayette Central School, have shown lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting that the local community may face economic challenges that impact student learning and attendance.
