Summary:
The 04572 zip code is home to a single public high school, Medomak Valley High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 560 students. While the school is ranked 82 out of 176 districts in Maine and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 20th out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 to 67th out of 119 in 2024-2025.
Medomak Valley High School's academic performance is mixed, with ELA proficiency rates above the state average but math and science proficiency rates below the state average. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is higher than the state's average. Additionally, nearly half of the student population (46.43%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students that the school may need to provide additional support and resources for.
On a positive note, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1 is relatively low, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, the school's overall performance and declining ranking suggest that there may be areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and strengthening math and science instruction and curriculum.
