Summary:
The zip code 04280 is home to a single middle school, Oak Hill Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Regional School Unit 04 district. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 51st and 85th out of Maine's middle schools in recent years, currently standing at 69th out of 91 for the 2024-2025 school year.
Oak Hill Middle School faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science significantly lower than the state averages. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rate is closer to the state average but still lags behind. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is notably higher than the state average and may be contributing to the academic performance concerns.
Despite these challenges, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 38.9% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to ensure these students have the necessary tools to succeed academically. By closely examining the factors contributing to the school's performance and addressing the identified areas of concern, Oak Hill Middle School may have opportunities for improvement and to better support the academic growth of its students.
