Summary:

The 04038 zip code in Maine is home to three elementary schools: Great Falls Elementary School, Narragansett Elementary School, and Village Elementary School-Gorham, all of which are part of the Gorham Public Schools district.

Among the three schools, Great Falls Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across the years reported. In contrast, Narragansett Elementary and Village Elementary have lower rankings and proficiency rates.

While the schools have relatively similar free/reduced lunch rates, indicating comparable socioeconomic backgrounds, the differences in academic performance suggest that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the schools' success. Additionally, all three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area of concern that the district should investigate and address to improve overall student learning and achievement.
