Summary:
The 04095 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Line Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 285 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Administrative District 57, which is ranked 108 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Line Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) falling below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 49.58% in ELA, 39.83% in Math, and 12.82% in Science, compared to the district averages of 63.44%, 45.77%, and 37.78%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the past two years, with proficiency rates dropping in all three subject areas. Additionally, Line Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, significantly higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges, as 43.86% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school does have a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges faced by the students at Line Elementary.
