Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04263

Summary:

The 04263 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Leeds Central School, which serves grades PK-6 with 199 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Administrative District 52, which is ranked 116 out of 177 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Leeds Central School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, its academic performance lags behind both district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (60.78%), Mathematics (42.16%), and Science (33.33%) all fall short of the district and state levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which could be contributing to the lower academic achievement. Nearly half (48.74%) of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

Despite these challenges, Leeds Central School's small size may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support for students. The school's leadership and staff should explore strategies to address chronic absenteeism, implement targeted academic interventions, and explore ways to better support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. By addressing these areas, Leeds Central School can work to improve its academic performance and better serve the needs of its students and community.
