Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04240

Summary:

The 04240 zip code area of Lewiston, Maine is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Lewiston Public Schools district, except for one public charter elementary school called Acadia Academy.

Among the schools, Acadia Academy School stands out as the top performer, consistently outpacing the Lewiston Public Schools in test scores and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.com. Within the Lewiston Public Schools, Raymond A. Geiger Elementary School, Thomas J McMahon Elementary School, and Farwell Elementary School have relatively higher test scores compared to the district average.

However, the Lewiston Public Schools as a whole face significant challenges, with all of their schools ranked in the bottom quarter of Maine schools by SchoolDigger.com. This is likely due to the high levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the district's very high free/reduced lunch rates, and chronic absenteeism, which is significantly higher than the state average across all Lewiston Public Schools. Addressing these underlying issues should be a priority for the district to improve educational outcomes for its students.
