Summary:

The 04090 zip code is home to a single high school, Wells High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Wells-Ogunquit Central School District. This high-performing institution is ranked 19th out of 119 Maine high schools and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for 2 out of the past 3 school years.

Wells High School's academic performance is impressive, with students outperforming the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA). In 2024-2025, the school had 64% proficiency in ELA, 61.22% in Math, and 43.96% in Science, compared to state averages of 63.84%, 49.38%, and 36.18% respectively. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.8% for 2023-2024 is higher than the state average.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024 is higher than the state would like, it is not alarmingly so. Furthermore, with only 13.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Wells High School has a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 is also favorable, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.
