Best Public Schools in Zip Code 04626

Summary:

The 04626 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Bay Ridge Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 42 students. The school is part of the Cutler Public Schools district, which is ranked 160 out of 176 districts in Maine and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bay Ridge Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of its 2023-2024 English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 69.23%, which was higher than the state's 65.43%. However, the school's ELA and Math proficiency rates have declined from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, a concerning trend. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Bay Ridge Elementary's performance is relatively stronger within its own district, with higher ELA and Math proficiency rates compared to the overall Cutler Public Schools district. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, which suggests smaller class sizes. However, the school's small size of just 42 students may present both opportunities and limitations in terms of resources and extracurricular offerings.
