Summary:

The 04240 zip code in Maine is home to a single high school, Lewiston High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Lewiston High School appears to be a consistently underperforming school, ranking in the bottom quarter of Maine high schools and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lewiston High School's key metrics and statistics paint a concerning picture. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.8% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is quite high. Proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) were significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Additionally, over 55% of Lewiston High School students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Lewiston High School faces significant challenges, the data provides a clear opportunity for improvement. By addressing the school's systemic issues, such as low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, and leveraging the available socioeconomic data to develop targeted interventions, the Lewiston Public Schools district can work to improve educational outcomes for the students at Lewiston High School.
