Summary:
The 04359 zip code is home to a single elementary school, River View Community School, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Regional School Unit 11/Maine School Administrative District 11. While the school's math proficiency rate exceeds the district and state averages, its science proficiency and chronic absenteeism rates are areas of concern.
River View Community School's academic performance is mixed compared to the district and state. In 2024-2025, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 57.92% was slightly lower than the district average of 65.8% and the state average of 63.84%. However, its mathematics proficiency rate of 54.89% was higher than the district average of 50.27% and the state average of 49.38%. Conversely, the school's science proficiency rate of 21.13% was significantly lower than the district average of 40.09% and the state average of 36.18%.
Additionally, River View Community School had a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The school also serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 33.69%, suggesting a lower socioeconomic status that may impact academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.2 in 2023-2024 was lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in student learning and support.
