Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04030

Summary:

The 04030 zip code area is home to two schools - Massabesic Middle School and Waterboro Elementary School, both part of the Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Admin District 57. Based on the available data, Massabesic Middle School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher among Maine middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages on various academic metrics.

Massabesic Middle School has reached as high as 25th out of 91 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year, with higher test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a slightly more favorable student-teacher ratio than Waterboro Elementary. While Waterboro Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Massabesic Middle School still manages to outperform the elementary school on academic measures, suggesting the middle school may be more effective in supporting and engaging its students.

Both schools have seen improvements in their test scores from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, which is a positive sign. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% across both schools is a concern that the district may need to address. Additionally, the district as a whole is ranked 108 out of 176 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement at the district level.
