Summary:

The 04418 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Helen S Dunn Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with 142 students. The school is part of the Greenbush Public Schools district, which is ranked 174 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Helen S Dunn Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (41.25%) and Mathematics (20%) well below the state averages of 63.84% and 49.38%, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is also significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 76.76% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 in the 2023-2024 school year, which may suggest the potential for more individualized attention and support. However, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 247 out of 288 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 284 out of 289 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.
