Summary:
The 04468 zip code is home to a single public high school, Old Town High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 546 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 34 district, which is ranked 136 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Old Town High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, appears to be below the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates have fluctuated over the past two years, with some slight improvements in English Language Arts and Science, but a decline in Mathematics. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
With nearly half of the student population (47.62%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Old Town High School serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and support. The school's fluctuating rankings and its district's low overall performance suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement and targeted interventions to support the school and its students.
