Summary:
The 04419 zip code in Maine has only one middle school, Caravel Middle School, which serves 226 students and is part of the Regional School Unit 87/Maine School Admin District 23. While the district is ranked 68 out of 176 in the state, Caravel Middle School's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 55th out of 96 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 62nd out of 91 in 2024-2025, all with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Caravel Middle School's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts (62.77%), Mathematics (37.23%), and Science (31.34%) for the 2024-2025 school year are all below the regional district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families (44.69% free and reduced-price lunch rate), suggest that Caravel Middle School may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Overall, the data indicates that Caravel Middle School is underperforming compared to other middle schools in the region and the state of Maine. The school's declining statewide ranking, academic underperformance, and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that there may be room for improvement in the school's educational practices and support systems. Parents in the 04419 zip code should carefully consider these factors when evaluating educational options for their children.
