Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04408

Summary:

The 04408 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Airline Community School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 30 students. The school is part of the Airline Central School District, which is ranked 62 out of 176 school districts in Maine and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Airline Community School appears to be performing reasonably well academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) that are generally higher than the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 68.42%, compared to the district's 61.9% and the state's 63.84%. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate declined from 40% in 2023-2024 to 57.89% in 2024-2025, which may be an area of concern.

The school also faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year and a significant economic need, with 43.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's small student-teacher ratio of 5.7 may indicate that it is able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.
