Summary:

The 04457 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Regional School Unit 67 district. While the middle school, Mattanawcook Junior High School, consistently performs well, the elementary school, Ella P Burr School, and the high school, Mattanawcook Academy, show room for improvement.

Mattanawcook Junior High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Maine middle schools with a 3-star rating. Its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science exceed the district and state averages, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5. In contrast, Ella P Burr School and Mattanawcook Academy have lower test scores and rankings, indicating potential areas for improvement.

A concerning trend across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a population with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support programs could potentially improve overall school performance in the 04457 zip code area.
