Summary

Mt Blue High School is a public high school located in Farmington, Maine, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 703 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 09 district, which is ranked 90 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mt Blue High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 40th to 94th out of Maine high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied from 1 to 3 stars. The school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top half of Maine high schools, but male students have generally performed better than female students. Mt Blue High School's four-year graduation rate, ranging from 85.4% to 88.8%, is slightly lower than the state average, and the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 28.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Mt Abram Regional High School and Maranacook Community High School, Mt Blue High School generally underperforms in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.06% to 50.5%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and continuing to improve academic proficiency, especially in Mathematics, could be key focus areas for the school's improvement efforts.
