Summary:
The 04041 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Regional School Unit 55/Maine School Admin District 55. While the high school, Sacopee Valley High School, stands out for its strong performance, ranking 20th out of 119 Maine high schools, the elementary and middle schools show more mixed results, with some areas lagging behind district and state averages.
Sacopee Valley High School earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasts a 4-year graduation rate of 87.8% and strong test scores, with 71.23% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 64.38% in Mathematics. In contrast, Sacopee Valley Middle School ranks 44th out of 91 Maine middle schools, and the elementary school's performance is more variable. All three schools, however, share a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly above the state average.
Across the district, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.48% at the high school to 61.96% at the middle school. This may impact academic performance and other student outcomes. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.0 at the high school to 14.2 at the elementary school, could be a strength, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
