Summary:

The 04538 zip code is home to a single high school, Boothbay Region High School, which serves grades 9-12. This school stands out as a top performer in the state, ranking 18th out of 119 Maine high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boothbay Region High School demonstrates strong academic achievement, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science exceeding the state and district averages on the Maine Educational Assessments (MEA). The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.8% is also higher than the state average, indicating the school is effectively supporting students to complete their high school education. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is higher than the state's target of 15% or less, which could be an area for improvement.

Compared to the state, Boothbay Region High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.7 and a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 15.79%, suggesting a student population that is generally more economically advantaged. While the school's academic performance is strong, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 47th in 2023-2024 to 74th in 2022-2023, which may warrant further investigation to identify any factors contributing to this trend.
