Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04252

Summary:

The 04252 zip code area is home to two schools - Lisbon High School and Philip W Sugg Middle School, both part of the Lisbon Public Schools district. While the middle school is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top third of Maine middle schools, the high school has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from 20th out of 98 schools in 2021-2022 to 87th out of 121 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Philip W Sugg Middle School boasts impressive test scores, with 74.38% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 50.51% proficient or better in Science, outperforming both the district and state averages. In contrast, Lisbon High School's test scores fall below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (39.76% proficient), Math (29.41% proficient), and Science (39.56% proficient). This performance disparity between the middle and high school is a notable concern.

Both schools share a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Lisbon High School. Additionally, the differences in student-teacher ratios and free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools could be factors influencing their performance. Addressing the root causes of the high school's volatile ranking and the overall absenteeism issue could be crucial steps in improving the educational experience for students in the 04252 zip code area.
