Summary:

The 04355 zip code is home to a single middle school, Maranacook Community Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. This school has consistently ranked in the top half of Maine middle schools over the past three years, indicating it is a relatively strong-performing institution in the region.

Maranacook Community Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but underperforming in Mathematics. The school's student population of 297 students has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may serve a more affluent community. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11:1 is lower than the state average, potentially providing a more personalized learning environment.

While Maranacook Community Middle School's overall performance is commendable, the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is an area of concern that warrants further investigation. Addressing attendance issues could lead to improved academic outcomes for the school. Overall, Maranacook Community Middle School appears to be a strong-performing middle school within the Regional School Unit 38 district and the state of Maine.
