Summary:

The 04617 zip code in Maine is home to a single elementary school, Brooksville Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has performed relatively well on state assessments, with ELA proficiency rates exceeding the state average, it has seen a slight decline in academic performance in recent years, particularly in mathematics.

Brooksville Elementary School stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio of 4.6 to 1, indicating a high level of individual attention for students. However, the school also faces challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate that is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school and its parent district, Brooksville Public Schools, are both ranked in the middle of the pack compared to other schools and districts in Maine, with 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Despite these mixed results, Brooksville Elementary School remains the sole elementary school option for families in the 04617 zip code. Understanding and addressing the factors contributing to the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism could be crucial in ensuring that all students in this community have access to a high-quality education.
