Summary:
The 04414 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Brownville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a small student population of just 94 students, it faces some challenges in terms of academic performance and resources compared to regional and state averages.
Regional School Unit 41/Maine School Admin District 41, the district that Brownville Elementary School is a part of, has seen a decline in the school's statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 163rd out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 262nd out of 289 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on standardized tests is also below the regional and state averages, with only 45.45% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 39.77% in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages.
One factor that may contribute to the school's academic challenges is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.23% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, Brownville Elementary School does have a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.3, which could provide more personalized attention and support for students. To better understand the school's performance and identify opportunities for improvement, further analysis of factors such as enrollment trends, resource allocation, and teaching practices would be beneficial.
