Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04280

Summary:

The 04280 zip code area is home to three schools: Oak Hill High School, Oak Hill Middle School, and Sabattus Primary School, all part of Regional School Unit 04. While the middle school has a relatively low statewide ranking, the high school has seen a significant decline, dropping from 46th out of 98 schools in 2021-2022 to 119th out of 121 in 2023-2024 and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Oak Hill High School underperforms the district and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while Oak Hill Middle School outperforms in English Language Arts but underperforms in Mathematics and Science. All three schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.4%, which may be impacting student learning and outcomes. Sabattus Primary School stands out with a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 44.19%, indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios across the schools, ranging from 11.7 to 13.2, the overall performance and attendance challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in this area. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and examining the relationship between socioeconomic factors and academic performance could provide valuable insights for the district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
