Summary:

The 04643 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Harrington Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance and demographics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others that require attention.

Harrington Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 137th out of 288 Maine elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 243rd out of 289 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments (MEA) in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been lower than the Regional School Unit 37/Maine School Admin District 37 and state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve student learning outcomes. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1 in 2023-2024 suggests smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.

One area of concern is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (55.04% in 2023-2024), indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Harrington Elementary School had a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in 2023-2024, which is a significant challenge that may be impacting the school's academic performance. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and providing additional resources and support to meet the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance.
