Summary:
The 04092 zip code area of Westbrook, Maine is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Westbrook Public Schools district. While the schools vary in their academic performance, with Congin School and Oxford-Cumberland Canal School standing out as top performers, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and economic disadvantage among the student populations.
Congin School and Oxford-Cumberland Canal School lead the pack in academic achievement, with 64.12% and 62.5% of their students, respectively, proficient or better in Mathematics on state assessments. In contrast, Saccarappa School and the district's middle and high schools lag behind, with lower proficiency rates. The wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, from 51.1% at Congin School to 70.23% at Saccarappa School, suggests varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across all schools in the 04092 zip code, with a consistent rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, well above the state average. This, coupled with the district's overall low ranking of 132 out of 176 in the state and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicates that the Westbrook Public Schools system faces systemic challenges that require targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for all students in the area.
