Summary:

The 04217 zip code is home to a single high school, Telstar High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it faces some challenges in terms of academic achievement and student engagement.

Regional School Unit 44/Maine School Admin District 44 operates Telstar High School, which has seen its statewide ranking range from 14th out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 to 72nd out of 119 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been lower than regional and state averages, though its Science proficiency rate was higher in 2023-2024. Additionally, Telstar High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

Despite these obstacles, Telstar High School serves a student population with significant economic challenges, with 38.69% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's low student-to-teacher ratio of 10 to 1 may help address the needs of this population. While Telstar High School's performance has been mixed, the data suggests there may be opportunities for improvement and growth within the school.
