Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04547

Summary:

The 04547 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Friendship Village School, which serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 69 students. This school is part of the Regional School Unit 40/Maine School Administrative District 40, which is ranked 82 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Friendship Village School is a standout institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Maine. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school placed 39th out of 289 schools, and in the 2023-2024 school year, it ranked 28th out of 288 schools, both with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.

Despite serving a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 40.58% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, Friendship Village School has maintained its strong academic standing. This success may be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.1 to 1, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average, it is not an outlier, and the school's overall performance suggests that it is effectively addressing attendance and engagement issues.
