Summary:
The 03904 zip code in Maine is home to a single middle school, Shapleigh School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Kittery Public Schools district.
Shapleigh School has seen a decline in its academic performance and rankings in recent years. Its proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is relatively high compared to the state average. Shapleigh School's statewide ranking has dropped from 30th out of 96 Maine middle schools in 2022-2023 to 52nd out of 91 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during the same period.
Despite its challenges, Shapleigh School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, and its free and reduced-price lunch rate of 22.75% indicates a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student population. Addressing the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rates could be important focus areas for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
