Summary:
The 04412 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Brewer Community School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 108th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 159th out of 289 in 2024-2025, it generally maintains proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are higher than the state averages but lower than the Brewer Public Schools district average.
Brewer Community School has a student population of 860 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable learning environment. However, the school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.65% indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may impact the school's performance and the resources needed to support these students.
One area of concern for Brewer Community School is its chronic absenteeism rate, which was 23.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, higher than the state's average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism could negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes, and it may be an area that the school and district need to address.
