Summary:
The 04040 zip code has only one school, Harrison Elementary, which serves grades 3-6 with 106 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Administrative District 17, which is ranked 163 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Harrison Elementary's performance, as measured by statewide school rankings and test scores, is below the regional and state averages in most areas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is concerning as it is often linked to lower academic achievement. The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 44.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning, the data suggests that Harrison Elementary is a struggling school that may need additional support and resources to improve student outcomes. Further investigation into the specific challenges facing the school and the district as a whole could help identify targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues.
